# CodyCross vs Consoly

The clearest difference is update cadence: Consoly at every 2 days against CodyCross's monthly. Consoly also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). CodyCross's advantage is ratings volume (285K vs 3) and chart position (#30 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CodyCross sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Consoly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Consoly holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CodyCross has 285K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

CodyCross ships an update monthly, Consoly every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
