# CodeWords Cryptogram Puzzles vs HexDoku

The clearest difference is ads: HexDoku at none against CodeWords Cryptogram Puzzles's shown. HexDoku also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). CodeWords Cryptogram Puzzles's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 1) and chart position (#146 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CodeWords Cryptogram Puzzles sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and HexDoku sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HexDoku holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CodeWords Cryptogram Puzzles has 3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
