Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

7 Little Words holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 7 Little Words has 6.2K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Mismatched Images's written reviews are positive against 64% of 7 Little Words's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mismatched Images ships an update every 11 months, 7 Little Words every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
