Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Water Magic Match at 4.9 against Muggins's 4.4. Water Magic Match also leads on ratings volume (360 vs 7) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). Muggins's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Water Magic Match holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Water Magic Match has 360 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Water Magic Match's written reviews are positive against 100% of Muggins's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Water Magic Match ships an update every 4 days, Muggins every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
