Verdict

The call

Crossy Path Puzzle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Build Up!! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Build Up!! has 16K ratings behind it against 177, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Crossy Path Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 34% of Build Up!!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Crossy Path Puzzle ships an update every 6 months, Build Up!! fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
