# Boxed In vs Sokoban Touch

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.

Both are free to download. Boxed In sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Sokoban Touch sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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