# DatingSphere vs Maven Match Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Maven Match Maker at 5.0 against DatingSphere's 4.2. Maven Match Maker also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). DatingSphere's advantage is ratings volume (41 vs 3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DatingSphere sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month and Maven Match Maker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Maven Match Maker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DatingSphere has 41 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DatingSphere ships an update every 9 days, Maven Match Maker every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
