Pixel Color vs PixelZen

Pixel Color is a paint-by-numbers app for coloring pixel art on Android and iOS. Choose a number from the palette, then fill the matching box in an image. Its selection includes meditative patterns, flowers, animals, holiday scenes, people and scenery, and the app is described as suitable for kids and adults. Completed pictures can be viewed as videos and shared with family and friends. Offline access and importing your own images are listed features. The app is free to download, with in-app purchases. Pixel Pro subscriptions unlock all content and features; after one expires, images marked Pixel Pro are no longer available. Plans are $3.99 a month for a weekly subscription, $9.99 a month for a monthly subscription, and $49.99 a year for a yearly subscription. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. The App Store listing supports iPhone and iPad running iOS 13.0 or later.

PixelZen is an iOS color-by-number app built around pixel-art canvases. Its numbered coloring mode rejects incorrect-color taps instead of leaving them in place. Pix’s Workshop turns a typed prompt or uploaded photo into a numbered pixel canvas, using one to three orbs per generation according to difficulty. The app includes themed collections of hand-picked canvases; new books arrive regularly, most are free, and some unlock with gems. A shared daily canvas provides a bonus reward and a separate streak, while login streaks can survive missed days. Hint, Bucket, Bomb, and Prism each provide one free charge daily. Premium adds unlimited power tools and Instant Finish. Completed canvases replay the coloring journey and can be saved or shared as high-resolution art. Guests can play without accounts, or sign in with Apple, Google, or email to keep progress across devices. Internet access is required, with no offline mode. The free plan costs nothing; Premium costs $9.99 a month.
