Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Match Valley at none against Link Legends's shown. Match Valley also leads on ratings volume (538 vs 60) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Link Legends's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Link Legends sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Match Valley sells 29 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Link Legends holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match Valley has 538 ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Link Legends's written reviews are positive against 59% of Match Valley's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
