# Gomoku vs Tile Match 3D

The clearest difference is ads: Gomoku at none against Tile Match 3D's shown. Gomoku also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Tile Match 3D's advantage is ratings volume (39 vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gomoku sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tile Match 3D sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gomoku holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tile Match 3D has 39 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Gomoku ships an update every 11 months, Tile Match 3D every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
