Verdict
MTAC and Anime Expo Official both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of MTAC's written reviews are positive against 37% of Anime Expo Official's. Anime Expo Official's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 18). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for MTAC against 4.8 for Anime Expo Official. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anime Expo Official has 1K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of MTAC's written reviews are positive against 37% of Anime Expo Official's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and August 1, 2026 respectively.
