# Tournament Maker vs Team

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Team at 100% against Tournament Maker's 57%. Team also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Tournament Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tournament Maker sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Team sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tournament Maker ships an update every 3 weeks, Team every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 3, 2026.
