Database for Stardew Valley holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Database for Stardew Valley has 4K ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Database for Stardew Valley's written reviews are positive against 83% of SV Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Database for Stardew Valley ships an update every 2 months, SV Guide every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
