# Witchy World vs Matching Magic

The clearest difference is ads: Matching Magic at none against Witchy World's shown. Matching Magic also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Witchy World's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 245). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Witchy World sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Matching Magic sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. 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 Witchy World against 4.8 for Matching Magic. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Witchy World has 1.4K ratings behind it against 245, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of Witchy World's written reviews are positive against 88% of Matching Magic's.

Witchy World ships an update every 4 months, Matching Magic every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
