# Township vs Goods Puzzle

The clearest difference is ads: Township at none against Goods Puzzle's shown. Township also leads on ratings volume (2.2M vs 185K) and chart position (#6 vs #49). Goods Puzzle's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Township sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Goods Puzzle sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Township against 4.8 for Goods Puzzle. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Township has 2.2M ratings behind it against 185K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 29% of Township's written reviews are positive against 24% of Goods Puzzle's.

Township ships an update every 2 weeks, Goods Puzzle weekly. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
