Shipper on Deck is an in-universe shipper, Matchmaker tries to enforce their ship?

(This is what I guessed after reading the 2 pages for about 2 minutes. So if it's wrong, blame my laziness.)

I'm pretty sure the major difference is that The Matchmaker actively words towards getting the couple together, while a Shipper on Deck doesn't. The Shipper will usually go only so far as to tease the couple they're shipping or make jokes about them.

If that's the distinction indeed, then it's really unclear from both the descriptions and the examples.
