Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DynaMaze 2D at none against PAC's 10. DynaMaze 2D also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). PAC's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (21K vs 5). On price, rating, 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. PAC sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. DynaMaze 2D asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for PAC against 4.8 for DynaMaze 2D. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PAC has 21K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of PAC's written reviews are positive against 100% of DynaMaze 2D's.
PAC ships an update every 6 weeks, DynaMaze 2D every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
