# CNshopper vs PixieCraft

The clearest difference is rating: PixieCraft at 4.5 against CNshopper's 3.6. PixieCraft also leads on chart position (#139 vs unranked). CNshopper's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PixieCraft sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. CNshopper asks for nothing beyond the download.

PixieCraft holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 24 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of CNshopper's written reviews are positive against 25% of PixieCraft's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
