Publish your results by email/message or post it to social media. - Add players from your contacts or manually - Create multiple groups eg: Friends, family, coworkers and share them if they are created on iCloud - Delete lists or players by swiping left - Same player can be on multiple lists - Sort by name, current score or total score - Clear scores or clear board if you want to start all over again - Publish your scores by email/message or post it to social media - No limit on number of players or number of groups - Negative scores are ok too. It also has a "Whist/Oh Hell" scorekeeper where scoring is done differently. Scoring rules are configurable in the app. Oh Hell is known by many names: Niggle, Estimate, Estimation, Judgement, Oh Pshaw, Pooch, German Bridge etc Oh Hell has many variations for scoring.

Score Keeper turns pen-and-paper score keeping into something you actually enjoy doing. Add your players, tap in the points, and get back to the game. No more arguing about who's actually winning, no more mental maths, no more scraps of paper going missing under the couch cushions. EASY SCORING, ANY GAME Score Keeper doesn't care what you're playing. Cards, dice, trivia night, house rules your family invented decades ago — if it has a running total, Score Keeper can track it. Add or subtract points in a tap, rename players mid-match, adjust the rules whenever you need to, and let the app handle the tally while you handle the rubbish talk. NEVER LOSE THE THREAD OF A MATCH Every point added, subtracted, or reset gets logged as you go, so you can always look back and see exactly how a game unfolded. Wondering who pulled off the comeback, or when someone tried to sneak in a suspicious +50? It's all right there. GO DEEPER WITH FULL MATCH HISTORY Want more than just tonight's final score? Unlock your complete match history and scroll back through every round you've ever played — handy for settling long-running debates about who's really the household champion. BUILT FOR GAME NIGHT Score Keeper is designed to disappear into the background of a good game night: quick to set up, simple enough for everyone at the table, and dependable enough that nobody has to ask "wait, what was the score again?" Add it to your next game night and get back to playing. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Score Keeper at 100% against GameScore's 66%. GameScore's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 18) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. GameScore sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Score Keeper sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GameScore holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GameScore has 1.4K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of GameScore's written reviews are positive against 100% of Score Keeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GameScore ships an update every 3 weeks, Score Keeper every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
