Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Masterpieced holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Masterpieced has 11K ratings behind it against 235, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Cut the Rope 3's written reviews are positive against 65% of Masterpieced's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cut the Rope 3 ships an update every 5 weeks, Masterpieced every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
