# Roster Blast vs Dugout App

The clearest difference is rating: Roster Blast at 4.9 against Dugout App's 4.4. Roster Blast also leads on ratings volume (133 vs 8). Dugout App's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roster Blast sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Dugout App sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Roster Blast holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roster Blast has 133 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Roster Blast's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dugout App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Roster Blast ships an update fortnightly, Dugout App every 6 days. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
