The faster you complete each of the 50 levels, the more bonus points you receive. The physics in Enigmo are truly amazing to watch! This is one of the most unique puzzle games ever created.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Coffee Pool at Free against Enigmo's $1.99. Coffee Pool also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 128). Enigmo's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 41%) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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
Coffee Pool is free to download; Enigmo costs $1.99 up front. Enigmo sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Coffee Pool sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Coffee Pool holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coffee Pool has 2.2K ratings behind it against 128, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Enigmo's written reviews are positive against 41% of Coffee Pool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Enigmo ships an update every 2 months, Coffee Pool every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
