# GameScore vs Score Keeper

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.

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.
