# MassLive.com vs Boston Baseball 24h

MassLive.com and Boston Baseball 24h both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Boston Baseball 24h's written reviews are positive against 19% of MassLive.com's. Boston Baseball 24h also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ads (none vs shown). MassLive.com's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (6K vs 3). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MassLive.com sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Boston Baseball 24h asks for nothing beyond the download.

MassLive.com holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MassLive.com has 6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of MassLive.com's written reviews are positive against 100% of Boston Baseball 24h's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MassLive.com ships an update every 3 weeks, Boston Baseball 24h every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
