Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Jigsaw Box Puzzles at 88% against Phonemo's 33%. Jigsaw Box Puzzles also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (267 vs 1). Phonemo's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jigsaw Box Puzzles sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Phonemo 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

Phonemo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jigsaw Box Puzzles has 267 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Jigsaw Box Puzzles's written reviews are positive against 33% of Phonemo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Jigsaw Box Puzzles ships an update weekly, Phonemo every 9 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
