Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WordJong at 90% against Match Manor's 42%. WordJong also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 19) and ads (none vs shown). Match Manor's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 14 months). On device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Match Manor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match Manor has 14K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of WordJong's written reviews are positive against 42% of Match Manor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WordJong ships an update every 14 months, Match Manor every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
