# Pyonkee vs Arty Mouse Shapes

The clearest difference is rating: Arty Mouse Shapes at 5.0 against Pyonkee's 3.7. Arty Mouse Shapes also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13). Pyonkee's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arty Mouse Shapes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Pyonkee asks for nothing beyond the download.

Arty Mouse Shapes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pyonkee has 53 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Pyonkee's written reviews are positive against 33% of Arty Mouse Shapes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pyonkee ships an update every 4 months, Arty Mouse Shapes every 44 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
