The call

The clearest difference is rating: Explode 2 at 4.8 against Wordigo's 4.0. Explode 2 also leads on ratings volume (7K vs 10) and chart position (#21 vs unranked). Wordigo's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 48%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Explode 2 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Wordigo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Explode 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Explode 2 has 7K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Explode 2's written reviews are positive against 80% of Wordigo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
