# Boxed In vs Worm Jazz

The clearest difference is ads: Boxed In at none against Worm Jazz's shown. Boxed In also leads on ratings volume (611 vs 18) and review sentiment (75% vs 62%). Worm Jazz's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boxed In sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Worm Jazz sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Worm Jazz holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boxed In has 611 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Boxed In's written reviews are positive against 62% of Worm Jazz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Boxed In ships an update every 2 months, Worm Jazz every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
