# Albert vs My Town

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.

Albert costs $5.99 and My Town $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

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.

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