# Fixum 2 vs Match Collector

The clearest difference is rating: Match Collector at 4.9 against Fixum 2's 4.3. Match Collector also leads on ratings volume (55K vs 185) and review sentiment (80% vs 60%). Fixum 2's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Match Collector holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3.
