Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Loopine at 4.3 against 15 Puzzle's 3.3. Loopine also leads on update cadence (every 9 months vs every 128 months). 15 Puzzle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Loopine holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 15 Puzzle has 4.8K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of 15 Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 50% of Loopine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

15 Puzzle ships an update every 128 months, Loopine every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
