Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PlayPin at 5.0 against Pixm's 3.1. Pixm's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PlayPin holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixm has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
