# Monstergotchi vs Pixelot

The clearest difference is price: Monstergotchi at Free against Pixelot's $2.99. Monstergotchi also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). Pixelot's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 32 months). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Monstergotchi is free to download; Pixelot costs $2.99 up front. Monstergotchi sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Pixelot asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pixelot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixelot has 36 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Monstergotchi's written reviews are positive against 95% of Pixelot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Monstergotchi ships an update every 32 months, Pixelot weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
