Verdict
Memory and Match 3D both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Memory's written reviews are positive against 35% of Match 3D's. Match 3D's advantage is ratings volume (971K vs 10K) and chart position (#54 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Memory sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Match 3D sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Match 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match 3D has 971K ratings behind it against 10K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Memory's written reviews are positive against 35% of Match 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Memory ships an update every 11 days, Match 3D every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
