# Mixoo vs Pics

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pics at none against Mixoo's 10. Pics also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Mixoo's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (7K vs 3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mixoo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Pics asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pics holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mixoo has 7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of Mixoo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pics's.

Mixoo ships an update every 3 weeks, Pics every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
