# Nonogram vs Math Dims II

The clearest difference is rating: Math Dims II at 5.0 against Nonogram's 4.4. Math Dims II also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). Nonogram's advantage is ratings volume (237 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nonogram sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Math Dims II sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Math Dims II holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nonogram has 237 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Nonogram ships an update every 2 months, Math Dims II every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
