# Team TFT vs MasterDex

The clearest difference is rating: MasterDex at 4.8 against Team TFT's 3.9. MasterDex also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 9) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Team TFT's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MasterDex sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Team TFT asks for nothing beyond the download.

MasterDex holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MasterDex has 1.7K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Team TFT's written reviews are positive against 87% of MasterDex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Team TFT ships an update every 2 months, MasterDex every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
