# Delta vs MyGames Database

The clearest difference is update cadence: MyGames Database at weekly against Delta's every 4 weeks. Delta's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 1.1K) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Delta sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month and MyGames Database sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Delta holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Delta has 28K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Delta's written reviews are positive against 70% of MyGames Database's.

Delta ships an update every 4 weeks, MyGames Database weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
