# My Bracket vs Tournament Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Tournament Maker at 4.2 against My Bracket's 3.9. Tournament Maker also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 48%). My Bracket's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 774). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Bracket sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Tournament Maker sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tournament Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Bracket has 5.3K ratings behind it against 774, so its average is the more settled of the two.
