Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FanGraphs at 4.8 against ShowZone's 3.4. FanGraphs also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 38%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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. FanGraphs sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and ShowZone sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
FanGraphs holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FanGraphs has 387 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of FanGraphs's written reviews are positive against 38% of ShowZone's.
FanGraphs ships an update every 2 weeks, ShowZone every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
