# Puzzle Day vs CPI

The clearest difference is ads: Puzzle Day at none against CPI's shown. Puzzle Day also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). CPI's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 11). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Puzzle Day against 4.5 for CPI. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CPI has 12K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of Puzzle Day's written reviews are positive against 81% of CPI's.

Puzzle Day ships an update weekly, CPI every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 14, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
