# 2048+# vs Math Puzzle Games

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Math Puzzle Games at 258K against 2048+#'s 2.6K. Math Puzzle Games also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). 2048+#'s advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 58%) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2048+# sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Math Puzzle Games sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Math Puzzle Games holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Puzzle Games has 258K ratings behind it against 2.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of 2048+#'s written reviews are positive against 58% of Math Puzzle Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

2048+# ships an update every 2 months, Math Puzzle Games fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
