# Jelly Splash vs Match

The clearest difference is ads: Match at none against Jelly Splash's shown. Match also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Jelly Splash's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 25 months) and ratings volume (64K vs 15). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jelly Splash sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Match sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Jelly Splash against 4.6 for Match. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jelly Splash has 64K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Jelly Splash's written reviews are positive against 67% of Match's.

Jelly Splash ships an update every 3 months, Match every 25 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
