# Art Puzzles vs Differences

The clearest difference is ads: Art Puzzles at none against Differences's shown. Art Puzzles also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 63%). Differences's advantage is ratings volume (349K vs 235) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Art Puzzles sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Differences sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Differences holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Differences has 349K ratings behind it against 235, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Art Puzzles's written reviews are positive against 63% of Differences's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Art Puzzles ships an update every 5 weeks, Differences every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
