# Tyrant vs Match Attack

The clearest difference is ads: Tyrant at none against Match Attack's shown. Tyrant also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (59 vs 19). Match Attack's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tyrant sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Match Attack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tyrant holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 59 and 19 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of Tyrant's written reviews are positive against 100% of Match Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tyrant ships an update every 5 days, Match Attack every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
