Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TCGplayer at 4.1 against Raid Plaza's 3.6. TCGplayer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). Raid Plaza's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and device support 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. Raid Plaza sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. TCGplayer asks for nothing beyond the download.
TCGplayer holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TCGplayer has 15K ratings behind it against 134, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of TCGplayer's written reviews are positive against 48% of Raid Plaza's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TCGplayer ships an update every 3 weeks, Raid Plaza every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
