# Truecaller vs MCD App

The clearest difference is rating: Truecaller at 4.4 against MCD App's 2.6. Truecaller also leads on ratings volume (253K vs 10) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). MCD App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Truecaller sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. MCD App asks for nothing beyond the download.

Truecaller holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Truecaller has 253K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Truecaller's written reviews are positive against 31% of MCD App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Truecaller ships an update weekly, MCD App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
