# 4D Maze vs Marble Run 2D

The clearest difference is rating: 4D Maze at 4.7 against Marble Run 2D's 3.6. 4D Maze also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Marble Run 2D's advantage is ratings volume (96 vs 3) and review sentiment (52% vs 33%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Marble Run 2D sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. 4D Maze asks for nothing beyond the download.

4D Maze holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Marble Run 2D has 96 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of 4D Maze's written reviews are positive against 52% of Marble Run 2D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

4D Maze ships an update every 7 months, Marble Run 2D every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
