# Simple Maze 3D vs Jigsaw Puzzle 500+

The clearest difference is rating: Jigsaw Puzzle 500+ at 3.0 against Simple Maze 3D's 2.0. Simple Maze 3D's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (35% vs 7%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jigsaw Puzzle 500+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Simple Maze 3D asks for nothing beyond the download.

Jigsaw Puzzle 500+ holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Maze 3D has 23K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Simple Maze 3D's written reviews are positive against 7% of Jigsaw Puzzle 500+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
