# Match vs Dream Master

The clearest difference is ads: Match at none against Dream Master's shown. Match also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Dream Master's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 25 months) and ratings volume (9K vs 15). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Match sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Dream Master sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dream Master holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dream Master has 9K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Match's written reviews are positive against 71% of Dream Master's.

Match ships an update every 25 months, Dream Master every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
