Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Max Match at none against Flow Free's shown. Max Match also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). Flow Free's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 504). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Max Match sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Flow Free sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flow Free holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow Free has 5.2K ratings behind it against 504, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Max Match's written reviews are positive against 82% of Flow Free's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Max Match ships an update every 3 months, Flow Free every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
