# Gridular vs Coin Stack Puzzle

Gridular and Coin Stack Puzzle both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Gridular's written reviews are positive against 29% of Coin Stack Puzzle's. Coin Stack Puzzle's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (3K vs 594). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gridular sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Coin Stack Puzzle sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Gridular against 4.7 for Coin Stack Puzzle. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coin Stack Puzzle has 3K ratings behind it against 594, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Gridular's written reviews are positive against 29% of Coin Stack Puzzle's.

Gridular ships an update every 4 months, Coin Stack Puzzle weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
