# Jigsaw® Dating vs Lalapinta

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lalapinta at 100% against Jigsaw® Dating's 32%. Lalapinta also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks). Jigsaw® Dating's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 3) and chart position (#170 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jigsaw® Dating sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Lalapinta sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lalapinta holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jigsaw® Dating has 3.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 32% of Jigsaw® Dating's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lalapinta's.

Jigsaw® Dating ships an update every 4 weeks, Lalapinta every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
