# Open vs SpicyMatch

Open and SpicyMatch both sit at 2.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 69% of Open's written reviews are positive against 0% of SpicyMatch's. Open also leads on ratings volume (304 vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). SpicyMatch's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Open sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per 7 days and SpicyMatch sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 2.9 for Open against 3.0 for SpicyMatch. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Open has 304 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Open's written reviews are positive against 0% of SpicyMatch's.

Open ships an update fortnightly, SpicyMatch every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
