# Pixel Hunter vs Shockbot

The clearest difference is ads: Pixel Hunter at none against Shockbot's shown. Pixel Hunter also leads on review sentiment (62% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 10.0). Shockbot's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Shockbot holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 25 and 17 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Pixel Hunter's written reviews are positive against 50% of Shockbot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pixel Hunter ships an update every 2 months, Shockbot every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
