Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Deco Deck at 5.0 against Fixum's 4.1. Fixum's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (36 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Fixum sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Deco Deck sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Deco Deck holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fixum has 36 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Fixum ships an update every 3 weeks, Deco Deck every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
