Screenshot a GameChanger box score. Get a season. OnBaseIQ turns the box scores your team already keeps into a scouting report on your own club. Take as many screenshots as you need, overlap them however you like, and the whole game gets read and built out for you. THE PART NOBODY ELSE DOES Grade the arm you faced. One slider, once a game. From then on every average in the app means something, because you can see how your lineup holds up as the pitching gets better. That is the difference between a .300 hitter who did it against everybody and a .300 hitter who did it against nobody. FIVE REPORTS OFF ONE SEASON Season. A letter grade, your slash line, and what the numbers say in plain sentences. Hitting. Leaders, a heat map of every hitter against every level of pitching, and the full table. Pitching. The staff, every arm, and how each one holds up against a real lineup. Trends. Your last five games drawn over the season line, so form shows up weeks before an average moves. Scout. Every club you have played, toughest arms first. WE NEVER FUDGE A STAT A scorebook gets kept by hand in the bleachers, so rows go missing. That is normal and it is not ours to fix. We never invent, adjust or reconcile a number to make a total balance. When a game comes in short we say so, in the place you are reading the figure. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No sign up. Nothing uploaded, ever. Your season lives on your device and backs up wherever your iPhone backs up. Baseball and softball. iPhone and iPad. OnBaseIQ Pro 4.99 USD a month or 49.99 USD a year, and your first month is free. Lifetime access is 149.99 USD paid once, it does not renew, and there is no free month on it. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. A subscription renews automatically at the same price unless you turn renewal off at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://onbaseiq.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://onbaseiq.com/privacy

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: OnBaseIQ at 5.0 against Blast Baseball's 3.1. OnBaseIQ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 weeks). Blast Baseball's advantage is ratings volume (323 vs 2) and chart position (#60 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
