Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Word Swipe for iMessage sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Word Blitz ･ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Word Blitz ･ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Blitz ･ has 45K ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Word Swipe for iMessage's written reviews are positive against 40% of Word Blitz ･'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Word Swipe for iMessage ships an update every 10 days, Word Blitz ･ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
