# PixFrame vs Watermelon Backup

The clearest difference is rating: PixFrame at 5.0 against Watermelon Backup's 4.5. PixFrame also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Watermelon Backup's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PixFrame sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Watermelon Backup sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PixFrame holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of PixFrame's written reviews are positive against 97% of Watermelon Backup's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PixFrame ships an update every 3 weeks, Watermelon Backup every 2 days. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
