Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Jigsaw Puzzles! at 4.5 against Puzzle Planet's 4.0. Jigsaw Puzzles! also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 25). Puzzle Planet's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (84% vs 71%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Puzzle Planet sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Jigsaw Puzzles! 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

Jigsaw Puzzles! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jigsaw Puzzles! has 2.8K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Puzzle Planet's written reviews are positive against 71% of Jigsaw Puzzles!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Puzzle Planet ships an update every 3 months, Jigsaw Puzzles! every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
