# Make Cake vs Donut Games

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Donut Games at 90% against Make Cake's 72%. Donut Games also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 1.5K). Make Cake's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Make Cake sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Donut Games sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Make Cake holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Donut Games has 11K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Make Cake's written reviews are positive against 90% of Donut Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Make Cake ships an update every 2 weeks, Donut Games every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
