Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cross Virus at none against GPixel's 7. Cross Virus also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). GPixel's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 26 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. GPixel sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Cross Virus asks for nothing beyond the download.
GPixel holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPixel has 491 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Cross Virus's written reviews are positive against 78% of GPixel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cross Virus ships an update every 26 months, GPixel every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 23, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
