Zotz! is an enjoyable time-waster, a form of perceptual practice, good for training the brain and the eyes; there is no timer and no score, no pressure, just a simple challenge waiting for you whenever you like. The game supposes a deck of cards, where each card has four attributes, and each attribute on any given card has one of three possible values: Number (one, two, or three), Color (red, blue, or green), Fill (solid, hazy, or empty), and Shape (diamond, oval, or rectangle). All you have to do is to spot, amongst the visible cards, any three cards which, for each attribute, are either all identical or all different. Colors, middle fill type, and number of cards in the layout can all be customized. Full instructions, with examples, are included.
Pyramid
Clear all cards from a pyramid formation by pairing cards that add up to 13. Only uncovered cards in the pyramid are available to play. Enjoy a classic solitaire experience with a unique layout.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Zotz! at 5.0 against Pyramid's 4.4. Zotz! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Pyramid's advantage is ratings volume (296 vs 4) and review sentiment (84% vs 67%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Zotz! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pyramid has 296 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Zotz!'s written reviews are positive against 84% of Pyramid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Zotz! ships an update every 11 months, Pyramid every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
