# REDCON vs Puzzle C

The clearest difference is rating: Puzzle C at 5.0 against REDCON's 4.3. Puzzle C also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). REDCON's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. REDCON sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Puzzle C sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
