Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Disney Jigsaw Puzzles! at Free against Pajama Sam's $4.99. Disney Jigsaw Puzzles! also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 10 months) and rating (4.1 vs 3.7). Pajama Sam's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and chart position (#186 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads and device support 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
Disney Jigsaw Puzzles! is free to download; Pajama Sam costs $4.99 up front. Disney Jigsaw Puzzles! sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Pajama Sam asks for nothing beyond the download.
Disney Jigsaw Puzzles! holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Disney Jigsaw Puzzles! has 3.5K ratings behind it against 156, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Pajama Sam's written reviews are positive against 46% of Disney Jigsaw Puzzles!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pajama Sam ships an update every 10 months, Disney Jigsaw Puzzles! every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
