# Ember Knight vs Match Attack

The clearest difference is rating: Match Attack at 4.7 against Ember Knight's 2.5. Match Attack also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (19 vs 2). Ember Knight's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ember Knight sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Match Attack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Match Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match Attack has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Ember Knight ships an update every 2 months, Match Attack every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
