Both are free to download. Crossword Puzzle 3D sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Hook Jam sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Crossword Puzzle 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 668 and 1.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Crossword Puzzle 3D's written reviews are positive against 27% of Hook Jam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Crossword Puzzle 3D ships an update every 5 days, Hook Jam weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
