# Hitstalt vs Minipuzzles

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hitstalt at 98% against Minipuzzles's 27%. Hitstalt also leads on ads (none vs shown). Minipuzzles's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and rating (4.8 vs 2.7). On in-app purchases, monetization model, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Minipuzzles is free to download; Hitstalt costs $1.99 up front. Hitstalt sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Minipuzzles sells 22 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Minipuzzles holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minipuzzles has 1.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 98% of Hitstalt's written reviews are positive against 27% of Minipuzzles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hitstalt ships an update every 2 months, Minipuzzles every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
