Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Puzzle Tracker at every 8 days against Keep Score's monthly. Puzzle Tracker also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Keep Score's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 637). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
