# Blast Softball vs PitchTAC

The clearest difference is rating: PitchTAC at 5.0 against Blast Softball's 4.1. PitchTAC also leads on ads (none vs shown). Blast Softball's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (223 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blast Softball sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and PitchTAC sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PitchTAC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blast Softball has 223 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Blast Softball ships an update every 5 weeks, PitchTAC every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
