# Pure Nonogram vs Griddrift

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Griddrift at 100% against Pure Nonogram's 33%. Griddrift also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Pure Nonogram's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.0) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Pure Nonogram holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pure Nonogram has 165 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Pure Nonogram's written reviews are positive against 100% of Griddrift's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pure Nonogram ships an update every 3 weeks, Griddrift every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
