# Midnight Blue vs Rope Puzzle

The clearest difference is rating: Rope Puzzle at 4.8 against Midnight Blue's 3.3. Rope Puzzle also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 15). Midnight Blue's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Midnight Blue sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Rope Puzzle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rope Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rope Puzzle has 1K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Midnight Blue's written reviews are positive against 20% of Rope Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Midnight Blue ships an update every 2 weeks, Rope Puzzle every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
