# Matific vs Awakening

Matific and Awakening both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 82% of Awakening's written reviews are positive against 60% of Matific's. Awakening also leads on ratings volume (26K vs 1.2K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Matific sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Awakening sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Matific against 4.8 for Awakening. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Awakening has 26K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Matific's written reviews are positive against 82% of Awakening's.

Matific ships an update every 6 weeks, Awakening every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
