# 3D Puzzle vs Superliminal

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 3D Puzzle at none against Superliminal's 2. 3D Puzzle also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). Superliminal's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 51) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Superliminal sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. 3D Puzzle asks for nothing beyond the download.

Superliminal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superliminal has 1.4K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 3D Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 72% of Superliminal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

3D Puzzle ships an update weekly, Superliminal every 8 days. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
