# Patchmania vs Sandwich!

The clearest difference is ads: Patchmania at none against Sandwich!'s shown. Patchmania also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 68%) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.2). Sandwich!'s advantage is ratings volume (115K vs 501). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Patchmania sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Sandwich! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Patchmania against 4.6 for Sandwich!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sandwich! has 115K ratings behind it against 501, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Patchmania's written reviews are positive against 68% of Sandwich!'s.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
