# Puzzle Day vs ColorSweeper

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Puzzle Day at none against ColorSweeper's 9. Puzzle Day also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). ColorSweeper's advantage is ratings volume (458 vs 11). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ColorSweeper sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Puzzle Day asks for nothing beyond the download.

Puzzle Day holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ColorSweeper has 458 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of Puzzle Day's written reviews are positive against 77% of ColorSweeper's.

Puzzle Day ships an update weekly, ColorSweeper fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
