Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Baseball America at 4.7 against PitchTracker Baseball's 3.6. Baseball America also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 42). PitchTracker Baseball's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Baseball America holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Baseball America has 1.4K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Baseball America's written reviews are positive against 55% of PitchTracker Baseball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Baseball America ships an update every 3 months, PitchTracker Baseball every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
