Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MLS at 4.9 against PropStream's 3.1. MLS also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and review sentiment (57% vs 27%). PropStream's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MLS holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MLS has 11K ratings behind it against 175, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of MLS's written reviews are positive against 27% of PropStream's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
