# Prisms vs Puzzmo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Prisms at 89% against Puzzmo's 43%. Prisms also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). Puzzmo's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 17 months) and chart position (#153 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prisms sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Puzzmo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Prisms holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Puzzmo has 173 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of Prisms's written reviews are positive against 43% of Puzzmo's.

Prisms ships an update every 17 months, Puzzmo fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
