Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ticketbox at 3.3 against Ticketmelon's 2.0. Ticketbox also leads on ratings volume (40 vs 6). Ticketmelon's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 13%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Ticketbox holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ticketbox has 40 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Ticketbox'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.
Ticketbox ships an update weekly, Ticketmelon every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
