# Piano Tiles ™ vs Stack

Piano Tiles ™ and Stack both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of Piano Tiles ™'s written reviews are positive against 53% of Stack's. Piano Tiles ™ also leads on chart position (#35 vs #155). Stack's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (59K vs 9.9K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Piano Tiles ™ sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Stack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Piano Tiles ™ against 4.4 for Stack. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stack has 59K ratings behind it against 9.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of Piano Tiles ™'s written reviews are positive against 53% of Stack's.

Piano Tiles ™ ships an update every 3 weeks, Stack every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
