Both are free to download. WC 2026 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. FIFA Official App asks for nothing beyond the download.
FIFA Official App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FIFA Official App has 2.3K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of FIFA Official App's written reviews are positive against 59% of WC 2026's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FIFA Official App ships an update every 2 weeks, WC 2026 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 1, 2026 respectively.
