# Paper Bride vs Puzzlebara

The clearest difference is update cadence: Puzzlebara at every 4 days against Paper Bride's every 5 months. Puzzlebara also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Paper Bride's advantage is ratings volume (413 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paper Bride sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Puzzlebara sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Puzzlebara holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paper Bride has 413 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Paper Bride ships an update every 5 months, Puzzlebara every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
