# Mots Fléchés vs Codewords Pro

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Codewords Pro at 88% against Mots Fléchés's 32%. Codewords Pro also leads on ratings volume (259 vs 5) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Mots Fléchés's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mots Fléchés sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Codewords Pro sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Codewords Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Codewords Pro has 259 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 32% of Mots Fléchés's written reviews are positive against 88% of Codewords Pro's.

Mots Fléchés ships an update every 2 months, Codewords Pro every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
