# Puzzle Planet vs Jigsaw Puzzles!

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.

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.

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.
