# PC Gamer (UK) vs MyGames Database

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MyGames Database at 70% against PC Gamer (UK)'s 31%. MyGames Database also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 12). PC Gamer (UK)'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PC Gamer (UK) sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and MyGames Database sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PC Gamer (UK) holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyGames Database has 1.1K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of PC Gamer (UK)'s written reviews are positive against 70% of MyGames Database's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PC Gamer (UK) ships an update every 2 months, MyGames Database every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
