# Link Match vs Sweet Cube Blast

The clearest difference is update cadence: Link Match at weekly against Sweet Cube Blast's every 3 weeks. Link Match also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.5 vs 15.0). Sweet Cube Blast's advantage is ratings volume (677 vs 172). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Link Match sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and Sweet Cube Blast sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Link Match holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 172 and 677 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Link Match's written reviews are positive against 88% of Sweet Cube Blast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Link Match ships an update weekly, Sweet Cube Blast every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
