# Picky vs Mobile Data Assistant

The clearest difference is rating: Mobile Data Assistant at 3.7 against Picky's 1.0. Mobile Data Assistant also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 22%) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). Picky's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Picky sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mobile Data Assistant sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mobile Data Assistant holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile Data Assistant has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of Picky's written reviews are positive against 43% of Mobile Data Assistant's.

Picky ships an update every 2 months, Mobile Data Assistant every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
