# Numbers Puzzle vs NumMatch

The clearest difference is rating: NumMatch at 4.7 against Numbers Puzzle's 3.4. NumMatch also leads on ratings volume (58K vs 5) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). Numbers Puzzle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (50% vs 42%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NumMatch sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Numbers Puzzle asks for nothing beyond the download.

NumMatch holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NumMatch has 58K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Numbers Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 42% of NumMatch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Numbers Puzzle ships an update every 3 weeks, NumMatch fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
