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 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
