Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PIXLport at 5.0 against Fractalizer's 3.7. Fractalizer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 10 months) and price ($1.99 vs $4.99). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
Fractalizer costs $1.99 and PIXLport $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PIXLport holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fractalizer has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Fractalizer's written reviews are positive against 50% of PIXLport's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fractalizer ships an update every 6 weeks, PIXLport every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and August 17, 2026 respectively.
