# Team Lineup Basic vs MatchDay Coach

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Team Lineup Basic at none against MatchDay Coach's 1. Team Lineup Basic also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). MatchDay Coach's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MatchDay Coach sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Team Lineup Basic asks for nothing beyond the download.

MatchDay Coach holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Team Lineup Basic has 1.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
