Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Make Candy at Free against More Buffet!'s $2.99. Make Candy also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). More Buffet!'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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Make Candy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Make Candy has 1.5K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of More Buffet!'s written reviews are positive against 79% of Make Candy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

More Buffet! ships an update every 6 weeks, Make Candy weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
