# Puzzle Thread vs Thread Blast

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Puzzle Thread at 40% against Thread Blast's 0%. Puzzle Thread also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 2). Thread Blast's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Puzzle Thread sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Thread Blast sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Thread Blast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Puzzle Thread has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Puzzle Thread's written reviews are positive against 0% of Thread Blast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Puzzle Thread ships an update weekly, Thread Blast every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
