# Tile Connect vs Match Tile Scenery

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tile Connect at 64% against Match Tile Scenery's 40%. Match Tile Scenery's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (45K vs 2.9K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tile Connect sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Match Tile Scenery sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Match Tile Scenery holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match Tile Scenery has 45K ratings behind it against 2.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Tile Connect's written reviews are positive against 40% of Match Tile Scenery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tile Connect ships an update every 6 weeks, Match Tile Scenery every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
