# Tangram King vs Polygrams

Tangram King and Polygrams both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Tangram King's written reviews are positive against 44% of Polygrams's. Polygrams's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 154) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tangram King sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Polygrams sells 6 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 — 4.6 for Tangram King against 4.6 for Polygrams. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Polygrams has 4.3K ratings behind it against 154, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of Tangram King's written reviews are positive against 44% of Polygrams's.

Tangram King ships an update every 4 months, Polygrams every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
