# Raid Plaza vs Blast Match

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Blast Match at 100% against Raid Plaza's 47%. Blast Match also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6). Raid Plaza's advantage is ratings volume (138 vs 6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raid Plaza sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Blast Match sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Blast Match holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raid Plaza has 138 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of Raid Plaza's written reviews are positive against 100% of Blast Match's.
