# Pull The Pin 2026 vs Screw Pin Puzzle

The clearest difference is ads: Pull The Pin 2026 at none against Screw Pin Puzzle's shown. Pull The Pin 2026 also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 14%). Screw Pin Puzzle's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (33K vs 596). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pull The Pin 2026 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Screw Pin Puzzle sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screw Pin Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screw Pin Puzzle has 33K ratings behind it against 596, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Pull The Pin 2026's written reviews are positive against 14% of Screw Pin Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pull The Pin 2026 ships an update every 7 months, Screw Pin Puzzle every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
