Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Puzlit at 5.0 against Conspire's 3.5. Puzlit also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.4). Conspire's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 50%) and ratings volume (8 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Puzlit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Conspire's written reviews are positive against 50% of Puzlit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Conspire ships an update every 2 months, Puzlit every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
