# Zen Link vs Zen Crush Tile

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Zen Link at 932 against Zen Crush Tile's 5. Zen Crush Tile's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zen Link sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Zen Crush Tile sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Zen Crush Tile holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zen Link has 932 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Zen Link ships an update every 3 weeks, Zen Crush Tile every 8 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
