# Match Goods vs Cake Match

The clearest difference is rating: Match Goods at 4.8 against Cake Match's 4.0. Match Goods also leads on ratings volume (172 vs 7). Cake Match's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days) and review sentiment (40% vs 22%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Match Goods sells 28 one-off in-app purchases and Cake Match sells 27 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Match Goods holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match Goods has 172 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Match Goods's written reviews are positive against 40% of Cake Match's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Match Goods ships an update every 9 days, Cake Match every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
