Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NumMatch at 4.7 against Number Join's 4.2. NumMatch also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (58K vs 202). Number Join's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 42%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Number Join sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and NumMatch sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NumMatch holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NumMatch has 58K ratings behind it against 202, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Number Join's written reviews are positive against 42% of NumMatch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Number Join ships an update every 5 months, NumMatch fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
