# Color Block Match Master vs Backgammon Plus

Color Block Match Master and Backgammon Plus both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 96% of Color Block Match Master's written reviews are positive against 18% of Backgammon Plus's. Backgammon Plus's advantage is ratings volume (4.7K vs 443) and chart position (#148 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Block Match Master sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Backgammon Plus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. 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 Color Block Match Master against 4.6 for Backgammon Plus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backgammon Plus has 4.7K ratings behind it against 443, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 96% of Color Block Match Master's written reviews are positive against 18% of Backgammon Plus's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
