# Crossword+ vs ItsYourTurn Games

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Crossword+ at 12K against ItsYourTurn Games's 6. Crossword+ also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and chart position (#126 vs unranked). ItsYourTurn Games's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crossword+ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and ItsYourTurn Games sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Crossword+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crossword+ has 12K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Crossword+'s written reviews are positive against 88% of ItsYourTurn Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Crossword+ ships an update every 10 days, ItsYourTurn Games every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
