# Fill · vs Nonogram

The clearest difference is monetization model: Nonogram at freemium against Fill ·'s subscription. Nonogram also leads on ratings volume (9.6K vs 1.6K). Fill ·'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fill · sells 4 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 Fill · against 4.7 for Nonogram. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nonogram has 9.6K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Fill ·'s written reviews are positive against 58% of Nonogram's.

Fill · ships an update monthly, Nonogram every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
