# Puzzle Cafe! vs puzzling.com

The clearest difference is review sentiment: puzzling.com at 36% against Puzzle Cafe!'s 0%. puzzling.com also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Puzzle Cafe! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and puzzling.com sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

puzzling.com holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: puzzling.com has 38 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Puzzle Cafe!'s written reviews are positive against 36% of puzzling.com's.

Puzzle Cafe! ships an update every 7 months, puzzling.com every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
