# TMZ vs Teamsters 728

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Teamsters 728 at 100% against TMZ's 63%. Teamsters 728 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). TMZ's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

TMZ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TMZ has 214K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of TMZ's written reviews are positive against 100% of Teamsters 728's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TMZ ships an update monthly, Teamsters 728 every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
