Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pixel Creator at none against Water Box's shown. Pixel Creator also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Water Box's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Water Box sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Pixel Creator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pixel Creator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Water Box has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Water Box ships an update every 9 days, Pixel Creator every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
