# POINPY vs Match Attack

The clearest difference is ads: POINPY at none against Match Attack's shown. POINPY also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Match Attack's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. POINPY sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Match Attack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

POINPY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POINPY has 280 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of POINPY's written reviews are positive against 100% of Match Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

POINPY ships an update every 2 weeks, Match Attack every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
