# Mascot Media vs NFHS Network

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mascot Media at 60% against NFHS Network's 5%. Mascot Media also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). NFHS Network's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.6) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NFHS Network sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month. Mascot Media asks for nothing beyond the download.

NFHS Network holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFHS Network has 17K ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Mascot Media's written reviews are positive against 5% of NFHS Network's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mascot Media ships an update every 4 months, NFHS Network weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
