# Zoologic vs Merge Master

The clearest difference is rating: Merge Master at 4.4 against Zoologic's 3.9. Zoologic's advantage is review sentiment (44% vs 30%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zoologic sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Merge Master sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Merge Master holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 180 and 254 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Zoologic's written reviews are positive against 30% of Merge Master'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 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
