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. SQLite Mobile Client sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. LunoDB asks for nothing beyond the download.
LunoDB holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SQLite Mobile Client has 201 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of SQLite Mobile Client's written reviews are positive against 0% of LunoDB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SQLite Mobile Client ships an update every 4 weeks, LunoDB every 8 days. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
