# Nine Card Game vs Hearts multiplayer

The clearest difference is rating: Hearts multiplayer at 4.5 against Nine Card Game's 3.0. Hearts multiplayer also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (162 vs 42). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nine Card Game sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Hearts multiplayer sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hearts multiplayer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 42 and 162 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Nine Card Game's written reviews are positive against 55% of Hearts multiplayer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Nine Card Game ships an update every 2 months, Hearts multiplayer monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
