# The Impossible Triangle vs Clue Master

The clearest difference is rating: Clue Master at 4.6 against The Impossible Triangle's 3.8. Clue Master also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (28K vs 12). The Impossible Triangle's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Impossible Triangle sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Clue Master sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clue Master holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clue Master has 28K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of The Impossible Triangle's written reviews are positive against 27% of Clue Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Impossible Triangle ships an update every 4 months, Clue Master every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
