# Impossible Draw vs The Birdcage 2

The clearest difference is rating: The Birdcage 2 at 4.8 against Impossible Draw's 4.1. The Birdcage 2 also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 815). Impossible Draw's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months) and review sentiment (82% vs 63%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Impossible Draw sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and The Birdcage 2 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Birdcage 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Birdcage 2 has 12K ratings behind it against 815, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Impossible Draw's written reviews are positive against 63% of The Birdcage 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Impossible Draw ships an update every 3 months, The Birdcage 2 every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
