# Tap 10 vs Times Puzzles

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tap 10 at 80% against Times Puzzles's 12%. Tap 10 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). Times Puzzles's advantage is rating (2.8 vs 1.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Times Puzzles sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Tap 10 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Times Puzzles holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Tap 10's written reviews are positive against 12% of Times Puzzles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tap 10 ships an update every 5 months, Times Puzzles every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
