# Worm Jazz vs Matexo

The clearest difference is rating: Matexo at 4.9 against Worm Jazz's 4.1. Matexo also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 62%) and ratings volume (356 vs 18). Worm Jazz's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Worm Jazz sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Matexo sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Matexo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Matexo has 356 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Worm Jazz's written reviews are positive against 93% of Matexo's.

Worm Jazz ships an update every 2 weeks, Matexo every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
