# Puzzmo vs Sixtep

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sixtep at 100% against Puzzmo's 43%. Sixtep also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). Puzzmo's advantage is ratings volume (178 vs 17) and chart position (#179 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Puzzmo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Sixtep sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sixtep holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Puzzmo has 178 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Puzzmo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sixtep's.
