# Double Exposure vs PIXEO

The clearest difference is rating: PIXEO at 4.6 against Double Exposure's 3.7. PIXEO also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.8.3). Double Exposure's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (66% vs 43%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Double Exposure sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and PIXEO sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PIXEO holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 28 and 41 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Double Exposure's written reviews are positive against 43% of PIXEO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Double Exposure ships an update every 3 months, PIXEO every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
