# Move the Box vs Bead Tower

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Move the Box at 77% against Bead Tower's 11%. Bead Tower's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Move the Box sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Bead Tower sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bead Tower holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bead Tower has 1.4K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Move the Box's written reviews are positive against 11% of Bead Tower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Move the Box ships an update every 2 months, Bead Tower every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
