Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Maze Square (Lite) at 5.0 against Checkers!!'s 4.4. Maze Square (Lite) also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). Checkers!!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (140 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Maze Square (Lite) holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checkers!! has 140 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Maze Square (Lite)'s written reviews are positive against 71% of Checkers!!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Maze Square (Lite) ships an update every 6 weeks, Checkers!! every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
