# Terrapets vs Pico Pets Puzzle

The clearest difference is ads: Terrapets at none against Pico Pets Puzzle's shown. Terrapets also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Pico Pets Puzzle's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 42%) and ratings volume (120 vs 31). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Terrapets sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and Pico Pets Puzzle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Terrapets holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 31 and 120 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Terrapets's written reviews are positive against 65% of Pico Pets Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Terrapets ships an update every 2 weeks, Pico Pets Puzzle every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
