# MTGCardStack vs TCG Stacked

The clearest difference is rating: MTGCardStack at 5.0 against TCG Stacked's 4.4. MTGCardStack also leads on ads (none vs shown). TCG Stacked's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (23 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MTGCardStack sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and TCG Stacked sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MTGCardStack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TCG Stacked has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MTGCardStack ships an update every 3 months, TCG Stacked every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
