# puzzling.com vs Color Tower

The clearest difference is update cadence: Color Tower at every 10 days against puzzling.com's every 2 months. Color Tower also leads on ratings volume (443 vs 69). puzzling.com's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 29%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. puzzling.com sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Color Tower sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Color Tower holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Tower has 443 ratings behind it against 69, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of puzzling.com's written reviews are positive against 29% of Color Tower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

puzzling.com ships an update every 2 months, Color Tower every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
