Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Cuzzle at 4.6 against Boxed In's 3.6. Cuzzle also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Boxed In's advantage is ratings volume (611 vs 31) and review sentiment (75% vs 61%). On price, ads, 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 Cuzzle sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cuzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boxed In has 611 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Boxed In's written reviews are positive against 61% of Cuzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Boxed In ships an update every 2 months, Cuzzle weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
