# PitchLab vs Ace Pitcher

The clearest difference is ads: PitchLab at none against Ace Pitcher's shown. PitchLab also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 165) and chart position (#83 vs unranked). Ace Pitcher's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 68%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PitchLab sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month and Ace Pitcher sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for PitchLab against 4.8 for Ace Pitcher. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PitchLab has 2.3K ratings behind it against 165, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of PitchLab's written reviews are positive against 83% of Ace Pitcher's.

PitchLab ships an update every 11 days, Ace Pitcher fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
