# Linepoly vs Beacon Puzzle

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Beacon Puzzle at 100% against Linepoly's 54%. Beacon Puzzle also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Linepoly's advantage is ratings volume (237 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Linepoly sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Beacon Puzzle sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Beacon Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linepoly has 237 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Linepoly's written reviews are positive against 100% of Beacon Puzzle's.

Linepoly ships an update fortnightly, Beacon Puzzle every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
