# Yes Chef! vs Three Match

The clearest difference is ads: Yes Chef! at none against Three Match's shown. Yes Chef! also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). Three Match's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (707 vs 56). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yes Chef! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Three Match sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Three Match holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Three Match has 707 ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Yes Chef!'s written reviews are positive against 57% of Three Match's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
