Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MLB at 4.7 against StatMuse's 4.0. MLB also leads on ratings volume (947K vs 74) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). StatMuse's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MLB sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. StatMuse asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MLB holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MLB has 947K ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of MLB's written reviews are positive against 31% of StatMuse's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MLB ships an update every 2 weeks, StatMuse monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
