# Jigsaw Puzzles History vs Map Puzzles

The clearest difference is rating: Map Puzzles at 4.7 against Jigsaw Puzzles History's 4.2. Map Puzzles also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (150 vs 21). Jigsaw Puzzles History's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 67%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jigsaw Puzzles History sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Map Puzzles sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Map Puzzles holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Map Puzzles has 150 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Jigsaw Puzzles History's written reviews are positive against 67% of Map Puzzles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Jigsaw Puzzles History ships an update every 4 weeks, Map Puzzles every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
