# Block Puzzle vs Bead Tower

Block Puzzle and Bead Tower both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Block Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 11% of Bead Tower's. Bead Tower's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 35) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Block Puzzle sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bead Tower sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bead Tower has 2.1K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Block Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 11% of Bead Tower's.
