# Ultimate Block Puzzle Solver vs Pasta Machine

The clearest difference is rating: Pasta Machine at 4.6 against Ultimate Block Puzzle Solver's 1.6. Pasta Machine also leads on ratings volume (8.7K vs 7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Ultimate Block Puzzle Solver's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 22) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pasta Machine sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Ultimate Block Puzzle Solver asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pasta Machine holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pasta Machine has 8.7K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Ultimate Block Puzzle Solver's written reviews are positive against 16% of Pasta Machine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ultimate Block Puzzle Solver ships an update every 2 months, Pasta Machine fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
