# ScorePal vs Score

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Score at 100% against ScorePal's 36%. Score also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3). ScorePal's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (186 vs 10). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Score holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScorePal has 186 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of ScorePal's written reviews are positive against 100% of Score's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
