# Pixel Hunter vs Ninja Ranger

The clearest difference is ads: Pixel Hunter at none against Ninja Ranger's shown. Pixel Hunter also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). Ninja Ranger's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (346 vs 25). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Hunter sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Ninja Ranger sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ninja Ranger holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ninja Ranger has 346 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Pixel Hunter's written reviews are positive against 72% of Ninja Ranger's.

Pixel Hunter ships an update every 2 months, Ninja Ranger every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
