# Match Cafe vs JumpStar

The clearest difference is review sentiment: JumpStar at 100% against Match Cafe's 40%. JumpStar also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Match Cafe's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Match Cafe sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and JumpStar sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

JumpStar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match Cafe has 3.9K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of Match Cafe's written reviews are positive against 100% of JumpStar's.

Match Cafe ships an update every 5 weeks, JumpStar every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
