# Quads vs So Tricky

The clearest difference is update cadence: Quads at every 9 days against So Tricky's every 6 months. Quads also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 11.0). So Tricky's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quads sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and So Tricky sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

So Tricky holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quads has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Quads's written reviews are positive against 100% of So Tricky's.

Quads ships an update every 9 days, So Tricky every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
