Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ThinkingBaseball at 4.7 against Odyssey XR's 3.1. ThinkingBaseball also leads on ratings volume (7.1K vs 61) and review sentiment (65% vs 41%). 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. ThinkingBaseball sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Odyssey XR sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ThinkingBaseball holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ThinkingBaseball has 7.1K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of ThinkingBaseball's written reviews are positive against 41% of Odyssey XR's.
ThinkingBaseball ships an update every 6 weeks, Odyssey XR every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
