Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: My Town at 4.5 against Albert's 4.2. My Town also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 87) and price ($3.99 vs $5.99). Albert's advantage is review sentiment (94% vs 82%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Town holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Town has 3.5K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Albert's written reviews are positive against 82% of My Town's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Albert ships an update every 9 months, My Town every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
