# ねこパズル vs Cat Ties

The clearest difference is rating: ねこパズル at 4.8 against Cat Ties's 4.0. ねこパズル also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). Cat Ties's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (80% vs 47%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ねこパズル sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Cat Ties asks for nothing beyond the download.

ねこパズル holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ねこパズル has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of ねこパズル's written reviews are positive against 80% of Cat Ties's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ねこパズル ships an update every 2 weeks, Cat Ties every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
