# Simon's Cat Match! vs Letter

The clearest difference is ads: Simon's Cat Match! at none against Letter's shown. Simon's Cat Match! also leads on ratings volume (9.7K vs 1) and chart position (#142 vs unranked). Letter's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simon's Cat Match! sells 24 one-off in-app purchases and Letter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Simon's Cat Match! against 5.0 for Letter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simon's Cat Match! has 9.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Simon's Cat Match! ships an update every 10 days, Letter every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
