Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Los Rulés at none against Cut the Rope's shown. Los Rulés also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Cut the Rope's advantage is ratings volume (836 vs 100). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Cut the Rope sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Los Rulés sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Los Rulés holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cut the Rope has 836 ratings behind it against 100, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Cut the Rope's written reviews are positive against 71% of Los Rulés's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cut the Rope ships an update every 4 months, Los Rulés every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
