Verdict
The clearest difference is chart position: MLB at #1 against MiLB's #72. MLB also leads on ratings volume (936K vs 40K) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MLB sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and MiLB sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for MLB against 4.7 for MiLB. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MLB has 936K ratings behind it against 40K, 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 35% of MiLB's.
MLB ships an update every 2 weeks, MiLB every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
