# Rope Puzzle vs Blockrun

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Blockrun at 100% against Rope Puzzle's 20%. Blockrun also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Rope Puzzle's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1K vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rope Puzzle sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Blockrun sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rope Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rope Puzzle has 1K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Rope Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 100% of Blockrun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Rope Puzzle ships an update every 3 weeks, Blockrun every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
