# Nixplay vs Frameo

The clearest difference is rating: Frameo at 4.9 against Nixplay's 4.1. Frameo also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 47%) and ratings volume (433K vs 5.1K). Nixplay's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nixplay sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Frameo sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Frameo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Frameo has 433K ratings behind it against 5.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of Nixplay's written reviews are positive against 71% of Frameo's.

Nixplay ships an update every 3 weeks, Frameo fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
