# Beckett Mobile vs Panini Direct

The clearest difference is rating: Beckett Mobile at 4.5 against Panini Direct's 2.8. Beckett Mobile also leads on ratings volume (3.1K vs 565) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Panini Direct's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beckett Mobile sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Panini Direct asks for nothing beyond the download.

Beckett Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beckett Mobile has 3.1K ratings behind it against 565, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of Beckett Mobile's written reviews are positive against 26% of Panini Direct's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Beckett Mobile ships an update every 6 weeks, Panini Direct every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
