Passes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Passes has 588 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Pixidust's written reviews are positive against 45% of Passes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pixidust ships an update every 3 days, Passes every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
