# My first puzzles HD vs ABA

The clearest difference is rating: ABA at 4.2 against My first puzzles HD's 3.0. ABA also leads on ratings volume (32 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). My first puzzles HD's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 28 months vs every 72 months). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

My first puzzles HD costs $1.99 and ABA $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ABA holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ABA has 32 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of My first puzzles HD's written reviews are positive against 67% of ABA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

My first puzzles HD ships an update every 28 months, ABA every 72 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
