Both are free to download. POPTime sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Prep Baseball asks for nothing beyond the download.
Prep Baseball holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POPTime has 110 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of POPTime's written reviews are positive against 0% of Prep Baseball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
POPTime ships an update every 3 weeks, Prep Baseball every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
