- Numbers Up is a quick casual game that is fun and challenging. Each turn rolls 5 dice from which you choose 2 pairs to play and 1 to discard. But choose your 2 pairs carefully! The sum of each pair selects a Number to move. Each Number will first lose points when moved off the starting row. Then try to keep moving your Numbers Up the board to gain points. - Keep an eye on your Discard Rows because they will lose a position when you discard the remaining die after choosing your 2 pairs. When a Discard takes the last position available in that row, the game is over - whether your score is positive (a win) or negative (a loss). - Track your progress on each of your personal devices separately or compete with your family and friends on Game Center. - Numbers Up offers an exciting blend of skill and luck with fast-paced play you can stop and resume at any time. Use the in-game tutor to learn more details of how to play. Thanks for playing! Your friends at Island Moon Studios - Love our app? ...

WizMiz is an Abstract Board Game for two players. A strategy game of 18 red dots vs 18 blue dots that is simple, fast & challenging. Each dot may move one or more squares at a time: vertically, horizontally, or diagonally – but not backward. The object of the game is to move your color dots across the board to the last opposite row. Two ways to win: 1. The first player to fill the last opposite row with 8 dots wins, or 2. The first player that has all of their remaining dots on the last opposite row, and none of their other dots left on the play field. You move by touching your dot then an empty square, or touching your dot then your opponents dot, removing It from the play field. A fast-moving strategy game for all to play. WizMiz was created by Jack Boasberg in 1986. Updated in 2019 at Lightorium.com, LLC. Developed by Juggleware.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WizMiz at none against Numbers Up's shown. WizMiz also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Numbers Up's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (34 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Numbers Up holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Numbers Up has 34 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Numbers Up's written reviews are positive against 100% of WizMiz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Numbers Up ships an update every 3 months, WizMiz every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
