# Simple Maze 3D vs Match Protocol

The clearest difference is rating: Match Protocol at 2.5 against Simple Maze 3D's 2.0. Simple Maze 3D's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (23K vs 10). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Match Protocol sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Simple Maze 3D asks for nothing beyond the download.

Match Protocol holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Maze 3D has 23K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Simple Maze 3D's written reviews are positive against 14% of Match Protocol's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
