# Make7! Hexa Puzzle vs POPLINKS

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Make7! Hexa Puzzle at 84% against POPLINKS's 56%. Make7! Hexa Puzzle also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 19) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). POPLINKS's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Make7! Hexa Puzzle sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and POPLINKS sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

POPLINKS holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Make7! Hexa Puzzle has 1.5K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Make7! Hexa Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 56% of POPLINKS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Make7! Hexa Puzzle ships an update fortnightly, POPLINKS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
