# Tile Connect vs Tile Triple 3D

Tile Connect and Tile Triple 3D both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 64% of Tile Connect's written reviews are positive against 45% of Tile Triple 3D's. Tile Triple 3D's advantage is ratings volume (67K vs 2.9K) and chart position (#179 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tile Connect sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tile Triple 3D sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Tile Connect against 4.7 for Tile Triple 3D. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tile Triple 3D has 67K ratings behind it against 2.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of Tile Connect's written reviews are positive against 45% of Tile Triple 3D's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
