# Puff Up vs Twisty Rails

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Puff Up at 294K against Twisty Rails's 16K. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Puff Up sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Twisty Rails sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Puff Up against 4.7 for Twisty Rails. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Puff Up has 294K ratings behind it against 16K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 37% of Puff Up's written reviews are positive against 33% of Twisty Rails's.

Puff Up ships an update fortnightly, Twisty Rails every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
