Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Scat Tools sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hard Penny Dell Logic Puzzles sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hard Penny Dell Logic Puzzles holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hard Penny Dell Logic Puzzles has 3K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Scat Tools's written reviews are positive against 55% of Hard Penny Dell Logic Puzzles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Scat Tools ships an update every 8 months, Hard Penny Dell Logic Puzzles every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
