# MTG Trades vs Optio

The clearest difference is rating: MTG Trades at 4.6 against Optio's 3.0. MTG Trades also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 2). Optio's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MTG Trades sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Optio sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MTG Trades holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MTG Trades has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MTG Trades ships an update every 2 months, Optio every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
