Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Labyrinth 2 Lite at none against Patience Balls's 7. Labyrinth 2 Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (78% vs 68%). Patience Balls's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Patience Balls sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Labyrinth 2 Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.
Patience Balls holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Patience Balls has 576 ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Labyrinth 2 Lite's written reviews are positive against 68% of Patience Balls's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Labyrinth 2 Lite ships an update every 3 months, Patience Balls every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
