Played on the same device, players take turns using the device camera to capture closeup objects in a designated area. Player 1 takes pictures and has Player 2 tries to match each one. Players work cooperatively to compare the photos and if it is determined to be a match, a point is awarded to Player 2. The players then switch and Player 2 takes the original photos for Player 1 to match. Choose the number of rounds, pictures per round and whether or not to keep score. Players can customize by adding their name and picking a canvas color on the settings page. Once a photo is taken it is stored temporarily in the imageCache of the device. Normally a device automatically clears the cache every couple of days, but this app clears it whenever a new game is started. None of the photos taken are saved to the Photo Gallery or anywhere on the device and no other app has access to the imageCache of Match This!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Match This! at none against Octopus Evolution's 10. Octopus Evolution's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 16 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
