# XO Master vs Tic Tac Toe

The clearest difference is review sentiment: XO Master at 100% against Tic Tac Toe's 65%. Tic Tac Toe's advantage is ratings volume (70K vs 110) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. XO Master sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Tic Tac Toe sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tic Tac Toe holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tic Tac Toe has 70K ratings behind it against 110, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of XO Master's written reviews are positive against 65% of Tic Tac Toe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

XO Master ships an update fortnightly, Tic Tac Toe every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
