# Jigsaw® Dating vs IdealFor

The clearest difference is rating: Jigsaw® Dating at 4.3 against IdealFor's 2.4. Jigsaw® Dating also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 72) and chart position (#196 vs unranked). IdealFor's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jigsaw® Dating sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days and IdealFor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Jigsaw® Dating holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jigsaw® Dating has 3.3K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 32% of Jigsaw® Dating's written reviews are positive against 20% of IdealFor's.

Jigsaw® Dating ships an update every 4 weeks, IdealFor every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
