Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: YINSH at Free against Sagrada's $9.99. YINSH also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 63%). Sagrada's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). On update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sagrada holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sagrada has 1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Sagrada's written reviews are positive against 90% of YINSH's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
