# MySQL Mobile Client vs Schema

The clearest difference is update cadence: Schema at every 2 days against MySQL Mobile Client's every 4 weeks. MySQL Mobile Client's advantage is ratings volume (207 vs 13) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MySQL Mobile Client sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Schema sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MySQL Mobile Client holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MySQL Mobile Client has 207 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 62% and 62% positive.

MySQL Mobile Client ships an update every 4 weeks, Schema every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
