# php vs MySQL助手

The clearest difference is update cadence: MySQL助手 at every 5 days against php's every 7 months. MySQL助手 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). php's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. php sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and MySQL助手 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MySQL助手 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: php has 43 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of php's written reviews are positive against 100% of MySQL助手's.

php ships an update every 7 months, MySQL助手 every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 7, 2026.
