# My MGA vs USGA

The clearest difference is ratings volume: USGA at 22K against My MGA's 35. USGA also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). My MGA's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for My MGA against 4.7 for USGA. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: USGA has 22K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of My MGA's written reviews are positive against 37% of USGA's.

My MGA ships an update every 2 months, USGA every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
