ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FearPix holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of FearPix's written reviews are positive against 82% of VURT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FearPix ships an update monthly, VURT every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
