# SEC Baseball vs MLB

The clearest difference is ads: SEC Baseball at none against MLB's shown. MLB's advantage is ratings volume (936K vs 5.6K) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SEC Baseball sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MLB sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MLB holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MLB has 936K ratings behind it against 5.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of SEC Baseball's written reviews are positive against 40% of MLB's.

SEC Baseball ships an update fortnightly, MLB every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
