# WordJong vs Treasure Party

The clearest difference is price: Treasure Party at Free against WordJong's $1.99. Treasure Party also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 14 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). WordJong's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

Treasure Party is free to download; WordJong costs $1.99 up front. Treasure Party sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. WordJong asks for nothing beyond the download.

Treasure Party holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Treasure Party has 21K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of WordJong's written reviews are positive against 64% of Treasure Party's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WordJong ships an update every 14 months, Treasure Party every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
