# PuzzleManiak vs Kluchi

The clearest difference is price: Kluchi at Free against PuzzleManiak's $0.99. Kluchi also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.1). PuzzleManiak's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (23 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Kluchi is free to download; PuzzleManiak costs $0.99 up front. PuzzleManiak sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Kluchi sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kluchi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PuzzleManiak has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of PuzzleManiak's written reviews are positive against 50% of Kluchi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PuzzleManiak ships an update every 2 days, Kluchi every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
