# Puzzledom vs Nonogram

The clearest difference is update cadence: Nonogram at every 3 weeks against Puzzledom's every 2 months. Puzzledom's advantage is ratings volume (134K vs 9.6K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Puzzledom sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Nonogram sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Puzzledom against 4.7 for Nonogram. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Puzzledom has 134K ratings behind it against 9.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Puzzledom's written reviews are positive against 58% of Nonogram's.

Puzzledom ships an update every 2 months, Nonogram every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
