# Heartopia vs Code Match Race

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Code Match Race at none against Heartopia's 10. Code Match Race also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Heartopia's advantage is ratings volume (36K vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Heartopia sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Code Match Race asks for nothing beyond the download.

Code Match Race holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Heartopia has 36K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Heartopia ships an update every 5 weeks, Code Match Race every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
