# Cryptogram vs Wordgram Master

The clearest difference is ads: Wordgram Master at none against Cryptogram's shown. Wordgram Master also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Cryptogram's advantage is ratings volume (242K vs 8.3K) and chart position (#35 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cryptogram sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Wordgram Master sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wordgram Master holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cryptogram has 242K ratings behind it against 8.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Cryptogram's written reviews are positive against 15% of Wordgram Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cryptogram ships an update every 3 weeks, Wordgram Master weekly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
