# MobiDB Database vs SQLite

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MobiDB Database at 54% against SQLite's 0%. MobiDB Database also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.0) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). SQLite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MobiDB Database sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and SQLite sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MobiDB Database holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MobiDB Database has 82 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of MobiDB Database's written reviews are positive against 0% of SQLite's.

MobiDB Database ships an update monthly, SQLite every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
