# Number Puzzle vs Number Match

The clearest difference is rating: Number Match at 4.6 against Number Puzzle's 3.6. Number Match also leads on ratings volume (516 vs 19). Number Puzzle's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Number Puzzle sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Number Match sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Number Match holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Number Match has 516 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Number Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 11% of Number Match's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
