Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sokoban Touch at 4.1 against Boxed In's 3.6. Sokoban Touch also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Boxed In's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 44%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sokoban Touch holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boxed In has 610 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Boxed In's written reviews are positive against 44% of Sokoban Touch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
