# Candy Challenge Match vs Gameworld Master

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Candy Challenge Match at 100% against Gameworld Master's 44%. Candy Challenge Match also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). Gameworld Master's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (17K vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gameworld Master sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Candy Challenge Match asks for nothing beyond the download.

Gameworld Master holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gameworld Master has 17K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Candy Challenge Match's written reviews are positive against 44% of Gameworld Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Candy Challenge Match ships an update every 3 weeks, Gameworld Master every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
