# Maze Square (Lite) vs Checkers!!

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.

Both are free to download. Maze Square (Lite) sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Checkers!! asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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.
