# TrueID vs Ticketmelon

The clearest difference is rating: TrueID at 4.8 against Ticketmelon's 2.0. TrueID also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 6). Ticketmelon's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TrueID sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Ticketmelon asks for nothing beyond the download.

TrueID holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TrueID has 1.6K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of TrueID's written reviews are positive against 33% of Ticketmelon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TrueID ships an update weekly, Ticketmelon every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
