# Three Match vs Gem Rush

The clearest difference is ads: Gem Rush at none against Three Match's shown. Gem Rush also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Three Match's advantage is ratings volume (707 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Three Match sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Gem Rush sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gem Rush holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Three Match has 707 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
