# MatchTime vs Masterstroke

The clearest difference is ads: MatchTime at none against Masterstroke's shown. Masterstroke's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MatchTime sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per year and Masterstroke sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
