# Screw Out Master vs Nightmare Puzzles

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Nightmare Puzzles at 38K against Screw Out Master's 453. Screw Out Master's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screw Out Master sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Nightmare Puzzles sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screw Out Master holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nightmare Puzzles has 38K ratings behind it against 453, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Screw Out Master's written reviews are positive against 26% of Nightmare Puzzles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Screw Out Master ships an update every 9 days, Nightmare Puzzles monthly. Both last shipped on November 8, 2026.
