# MySQL QueryDB Client vs API

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: API at none against MySQL QueryDB Client's 1. API also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). MySQL QueryDB Client's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (103 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MySQL QueryDB Client sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. API asks for nothing beyond the download.

MySQL QueryDB Client holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MySQL QueryDB Client has 103 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of MySQL QueryDB Client's written reviews are positive against 100% of API's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MySQL QueryDB Client ships an update every 5 weeks, API every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and June 7, 2026 respectively.
