Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: SherMatch+ at 6.9K against SplashID Classic's 9. SherMatch+ also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). SplashID Classic's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 27%) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SherMatch+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and SplashID Classic sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SherMatch+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SherMatch+ has 6.9K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of SherMatch+'s written reviews are positive against 50% of SplashID Classic'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, SplashID Classic every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
