Verdict
Maze Games and Patterns both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Patterns's written reviews are positive against 50% of Maze Games's. Patterns also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months). Maze Games's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ratings volume (458 vs 43). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Patterns sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Maze Games asks for nothing beyond the download.
Maze Games holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Maze Games has 458 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Maze Games's written reviews are positive against 85% of Patterns's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Maze Games ships an update every 8 months, Patterns weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
