# Match Things 3D vs Match 3D

The clearest difference is rating: Match Things 3D at 4.6 against Match 3D's 3.7. Match Things 3D also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (15 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Match Things 3D sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Match 3D sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Match Things 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match Things 3D has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 50% and 50% positive.

Match Things 3D ships an update fortnightly, Match 3D every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
