Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mana Monsters at 4.7 against Pico Pets Puzzle's 4.1. Mana Monsters also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (936 vs 120). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pico Pets Puzzle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Mana Monsters sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mana Monsters holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mana Monsters has 936 ratings behind it against 120, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Pico Pets Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 59% of Mana Monsters's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pico Pets Puzzle ships an update every 2 months, Mana Monsters every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
