# Seabeard vs Puzzle Wizards

The clearest difference is ads: Puzzle Wizards at none against Seabeard's shown. Puzzle Wizards also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 72%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Seabeard's advantage is ratings volume (3.2K vs 125) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Seabeard sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Puzzle Wizards sells 3 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 — 4.7 for Seabeard against 4.7 for Puzzle Wizards. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seabeard has 3.2K ratings behind it against 125, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Seabeard's written reviews are positive against 87% of Puzzle Wizards's.

Seabeard ships an update every 2 months, Puzzle Wizards every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
