Markov is a flow puzzle about routing probability. Tokens enter from one source. Pipes split the flow. Your job is to adjust the network until the exact right amount reaches each bucket. Add pipes. Remove pipes. Swap paths. Watch the ratios change. Wide pipes, locked pipes, overflow nodes, and smarter hints add depth as you go. No formulas required. Just logic, intuition, and satisfying chain reactions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Markov at 5.0 against Rytmos's 3.6. Markov also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Rytmos's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (62 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Rytmos sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Markov sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Markov holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rytmos has 62 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Rytmos ships an update every 2 months, Markov every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
