# Tangled vs Tangle Master 3D

The clearest difference is rating: Tangle Master 3D at 4.4 against Tangled's 3.8. Tangle Master 3D also leads on ratings volume (385K vs 31) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Tangled's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 16%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tangled sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Tangle Master 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tangle Master 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tangle Master 3D has 385K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Tangled's written reviews are positive against 16% of Tangle Master 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tangled ships an update every 3 weeks, Tangle Master 3D weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
