Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MarketMan holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MarketMan has 87 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of MarketMan's written reviews are positive against 100% of Apicbase's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MarketMan ships an update every 4 weeks, Apicbase every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
