# MyArmyPost vs SC Ship Database

The clearest difference is rating: SC Ship Database at 4.4 against MyArmyPost's 4.1. SC Ship Database also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). MyArmyPost's advantage is ratings volume (91 vs 8) and chart position (#173 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

SC Ship Database holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyArmyPost has 91 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of MyArmyPost's written reviews are positive against 50% of SC Ship Database's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MyArmyPost ships an update every 3 weeks, SC Ship Database every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
