# PixelLab vs Multi

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Multi at 100% against PixelLab's 42%. Multi also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). PixelLab's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (993 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PixelLab sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Multi sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Multi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PixelLab has 993 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of PixelLab's written reviews are positive against 100% of Multi's.

PixelLab ships an update every 5 days, Multi fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
