# Word Crush vs Card & Puzzle

The clearest difference is ads: Word Crush at none against Card & Puzzle's shown. Card & Puzzle's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Word Crush sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Card & Puzzle sells 4 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 — 5.0 for Word Crush against 5.0 for Card & Puzzle. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card & Puzzle has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Word Crush ships an update every 3 months, Card & Puzzle every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
