# MLB vs Momento

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Momento at none against MLB's 16. Momento also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (63% vs 40%). MLB's advantage is ratings volume (956K vs 2.7K) and chart position (#5 vs unranked). On price, rating and update cadence there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for MLB against 4.8 for Momento. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MLB has 956K ratings behind it against 2.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 40% of MLB's written reviews are positive against 63% of Momento's.

MLB ships an update every 9 days, Momento weekly. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
