# Chicago Baseball Sox Edition vs CHSN

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chicago Baseball Sox Edition at none against CHSN's 5. Chicago Baseball Sox Edition also leads on iOS requirement (14.5 vs 16). CHSN's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 84 months) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 7). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CHSN sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Chicago Baseball Sox Edition asks for nothing beyond the download.

CHSN holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CHSN has 3.9K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Chicago Baseball Sox Edition ships an update every 84 months, CHSN fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
