# Tangram vs CipherBreaker

The clearest difference is update cadence: CipherBreaker at every 2 days against Tangram's monthly. CipherBreaker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Tangram's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tangram sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and CipherBreaker sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CipherBreaker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tangram has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Tangram ships an update monthly, CipherBreaker every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
