# Merge Master vs Jelly Evolution

The clearest difference is rating: Merge Master at 4.4 against Jelly Evolution's 2.9. Merge Master also leads on ratings volume (254 vs 8) and review sentiment (30% vs 20%). Jelly Evolution's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Merge Master sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Jelly Evolution sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Merge Master holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Merge Master has 254 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of Merge Master's written reviews are positive against 20% of Jelly Evolution's.

Merge Master ships an update every 2 months, Jelly Evolution every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
