# Blast Baseball vs OnBaseIQ

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 (#63 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blast Baseball sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and OnBaseIQ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
