# Scores vs Scoreboard

The clearest difference is ads: Scoreboard at none against Scores's shown. Scoreboard also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 65%) and ratings volume (360 vs 120). Scores's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scores sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Scoreboard sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scores holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 120 and 360 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Scores's written reviews are positive against 80% of Scoreboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Scores ships an update every 6 weeks, Scoreboard every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
