Both are free to download. Five Differences Max Challenge sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Word Wiz sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Word Wiz holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Wiz has 40K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Five Differences Max Challenge's written reviews are positive against 50% of Word Wiz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Five Differences Max Challenge ships an update every 18 months, Word Wiz every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
