# Match 3D vs 3D Match Game

Match 3D and 3D Match Game both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of 3D Match Game's written reviews are positive against 35% of Match 3D's. Match 3D's advantage is ratings volume (971K vs 1.6K) and chart position (#51 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Match 3D sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and 3D Match Game 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 — 4.8 for Match 3D against 4.9 for 3D Match Game. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match 3D has 971K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 35% of Match 3D's written reviews are positive against 80% of 3D Match Game's.

Match 3D ships an update every 3 weeks, 3D Match Game every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
