# Queen Royale vs Link Match

Queen Royale and Link Match both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 94% of Queen Royale's written reviews are positive against 80% of Link Match's. On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Queen Royale sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Link Match sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Link Match holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 165 and 172 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Queen Royale's written reviews are positive against 80% of Link Match's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Queen Royale ships an update every 9 days, Link Match weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 18, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
