# CrossBlock! vs Jigsaw Pieces

The clearest difference is rating: CrossBlock! at 5.0 against Jigsaw Pieces's 3.0. CrossBlock! also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days) and ratings volume (15 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CrossBlock! sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Jigsaw Pieces sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CrossBlock! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CrossBlock! has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

CrossBlock! ships an update every 2 days, Jigsaw Pieces every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
