# Cut the Rope vs Level Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Cut the Rope at 4.3 against Level Maker's 3.6. Cut the Rope also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 54%) and ratings volume (836 vs 90). Level Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cut the Rope sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Level Maker sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cut the Rope holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cut the Rope has 836 ratings behind it against 90, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Cut the Rope's written reviews are positive against 54% of Level Maker's.

Cut the Rope ships an update every 4 months, Level Maker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
