# SherMatch+ vs Walabot DIY

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Walabot DIY at 78% against SherMatch+'s 27%. Walabot DIY also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). SherMatch+'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (6.9K vs 320). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SherMatch+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Walabot DIY asks for nothing beyond the download.

SherMatch+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SherMatch+ has 6.9K ratings behind it against 320, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of SherMatch+'s written reviews are positive against 78% of Walabot DIY's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SherMatch+ ships an update every 2 months, Walabot DIY every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
