Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Arukone at none against Tangram King's shown. Arukone also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). Tangram King's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 58%) and ratings volume (154 vs 10). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arukone sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Tangram King sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Arukone holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tangram King has 154 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Arukone's written reviews are positive against 89% of Tangram King's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Arukone ships an update every 8 months, Tangram King every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
