# Pasta Machine vs GossipMaster

Pasta Machine and GossipMaster both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 74% of GossipMaster's written reviews are positive against 16% of Pasta Machine's. GossipMaster also leads on ratings volume (82K vs 8.7K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pasta Machine sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and GossipMaster sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Pasta Machine against 4.7 for GossipMaster. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GossipMaster has 82K ratings behind it against 8.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 16% of Pasta Machine's written reviews are positive against 74% of GossipMaster's.

Pasta Machine ships an update fortnightly, GossipMaster every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
