Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: STACK IT at 5.0 against Pixel Puzzle's 4.4. STACK IT also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). Pixel Puzzle's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 78 months) and review sentiment (94% vs 80%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Puzzle sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. STACK IT asks for nothing beyond the download.
STACK IT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixel Puzzle has 22 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of STACK IT's written reviews are positive against 94% of Pixel Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
STACK IT ships an update every 78 months, Pixel Puzzle every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
