Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: WordBoxer at none against Wordfeud's shown. WordBoxer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Wordfeud's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 9) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wordfeud sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and WordBoxer 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

WordBoxer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wordfeud has 18K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Wordfeud's written reviews are positive against 87% of WordBoxer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wordfeud ships an update every 10 days, WordBoxer every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 7, 2026 respectively.
