No ads · no tracking · one-time purchase, no subscription. Stopko is a logic puzzle you finish by reasoning. You get a short story, a grid and a list of clues, and from those you can work out who has what. Without guessing once. Every base puzzle has a single solution that can be reached by deduction. What is in Stopko: • 400 puzzles across five chapters, from three categories up to five • six themes with their own story: a café, allotments, a block of flats, a race, a library, a market • a hint that first names the clue which settles the next square, and only fills the square in if you press it again • automatic crosses, undo, and a higher contrast mode for reading the grid • English, Slovak and Czech The app contains no ads and needs no account. Gameplay works offline. Buying or restoring the expansion requires a store connection. The optional Night Observatory adds 60 new deduction puzzles with a one-time purchase. The original 400 puzzles and hints stay free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Stopko at none against Nonogram's shown. Stopko also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
