Verdict
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.

Both are free to download. Baseball America sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Baseball Numbers asks for nothing beyond the download.
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.
Baseball America ships an update every 3 months, Baseball Numbers every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
