# Puzzle Go vs 1024 Hoops

The clearest difference is rating: 1024 Hoops at 4.5 against Puzzle Go's 3.9. 1024 Hoops also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 20). Puzzle Go's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Puzzle Go sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and 1024 Hoops sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

1024 Hoops holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 1024 Hoops has 1.4K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Puzzle Go's written reviews are positive against 13% of 1024 Hoops's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Puzzle Go ships an update every 2 weeks, 1024 Hoops every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
