# Hole Collect vs Codebreaker

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Codebreaker at none against Hole Collect's 21. Codebreaker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 weeks). Hole Collect's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hole Collect sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Codebreaker asks for nothing beyond the download.

Codebreaker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hole Collect has 1.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Hole Collect ships an update every 2 weeks, Codebreaker every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
