Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MultiSport Australia at 5.0 against Play AFL's 4.2. Play AFL's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 25%) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MultiSport Australia holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Play AFL has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Play AFL's written reviews are positive against 25% of MultiSport Australia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Play AFL ships an update fortnightly, MultiSport Australia every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
