Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Lights Off at none against Nonogram Crossing Logic Puzzle's shown. Lights Off also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 39%). Nonogram Crossing Logic Puzzle's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (5.8K vs 38). On price, 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
Both are free to download. Lights Off sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Nonogram Crossing Logic Puzzle sells 27 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Nonogram Crossing Logic Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nonogram Crossing Logic Puzzle has 5.8K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Lights Off's written reviews are positive against 39% of Nonogram Crossing Logic Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lights Off ships an update every 5 months, Nonogram Crossing Logic Puzzle every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
