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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
STFM/MMTS holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STFM/MMTS has 23 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of IMTS 2026's written reviews are positive against 43% of STFM/MMTS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
IMTS 2026 ships an update every 3 weeks, STFM/MMTS every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and July 19, 2026 respectively.
