# I'm Puzzled vs The Vault

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: I'm Puzzled at none against The Vault's 10. I'm Puzzled also leads on ads (none vs shown). The Vault's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 40). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Vault sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. I'm Puzzled asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Vault holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Vault has 3.5K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of I'm Puzzled's written reviews are positive against 72% of The Vault's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

I'm Puzzled ships an update every 5 weeks, The Vault every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
