# More Cakes! vs Cupcake Maker

The clearest difference is price: Cupcake Maker at Free against More Cakes!'s $1.99. Cupcake Maker also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). More Cakes!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Cupcake Maker is free to download; More Cakes! costs $1.99 up front. Cupcake Maker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. More Cakes! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cupcake Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cupcake Maker has 2.3K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of More Cakes!'s written reviews are positive against 79% of Cupcake Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

More Cakes! ships an update every 3 months, Cupcake Maker fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
