Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Baseball America at 4.7 against Baseball Numbers's 3.0. Baseball America also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 20) and chart position (#129 vs unranked). Baseball Numbers's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (56% vs 41%). On price, ads 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 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Baseball America has 1.4K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Baseball America's written reviews are positive against 56% of Baseball Numbers'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, Baseball Numbers every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
