# 100 Squares vs Block Puzzle 100

The clearest difference is rating: Block Puzzle 100 at 4.7 against 100 Squares's 3.0. Block Puzzle 100 also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 1). 100 Squares's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Block Puzzle 100 sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. 100 Squares asks for nothing beyond the download.

Block Puzzle 100 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Puzzle 100 has 12K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 100 Squares's written reviews are positive against 86% of Block Puzzle 100's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
