# php vs Pixeur

The clearest difference is rating: php at 4.8 against Pixeur's 3.0. php also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 2). Pixeur's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. php sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Pixeur sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

php holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: php has 43 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of php's written reviews are positive against 85% of Pixeur's.

php ships an update every 7 months, Pixeur every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
