Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iDatabase at 4.4 against MobiDB Database's 3.9. iDatabase also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (510 vs 82). MobiDB Database's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iDatabase sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MobiDB Database sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iDatabase holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iDatabase has 510 ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of iDatabase's written reviews are positive against 54% of MobiDB Database's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iDatabase ships an update fortnightly, MobiDB Database monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
