# Loop vs Pixel Slide Puzzle

The clearest difference is rating: Pixel Slide Puzzle at 5.0 against Loop's 4.1. Loop's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Loop sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Pixel Slide Puzzle sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pixel Slide Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Loop ships an update every 3 days, Pixel Slide Puzzle every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
