# Pixel Art Maker vs Comic Strip

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pixel Art Maker at 91% against Comic Strip's 34%. Pixel Art Maker also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (11K vs 2K). Comic Strip's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Art Maker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Comic Strip asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pixel Art Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5.
