Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Kakooma at none against puzzling.com's shown. Kakooma also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 38%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). puzzling.com's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. puzzling.com sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Kakooma sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

puzzling.com holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 73 and 131 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of puzzling.com's written reviews are positive against 52% of Kakooma's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

puzzling.com ships an update every 2 months, Kakooma every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
