# Wired ! vs Bus Puzzle

The clearest difference is ads: Wired ! at none against Bus Puzzle's shown. Wired ! also leads on iOS requirement (8.4 vs 12.0). Bus Puzzle's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Bus Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 86 and 138 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of Wired !'s written reviews are positive against 70% of Bus Puzzle's.

Wired ! ships an update every 9 months, Bus Puzzle every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
