# MiLB vs SurfVista

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SurfVista at 100% against MiLB's 36%. SurfVista also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). MiLB's advantage is ratings volume (41K vs 6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MiLB sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and SurfVista sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SurfVista holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MiLB has 41K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of MiLB's written reviews are positive against 100% of SurfVista's.

MiLB ships an update fortnightly, SurfVista every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
