# Game Notebook vs Score Anything

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Game Notebook at none against Score Anything's 1. Game Notebook also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). Score Anything's advantage is ratings volume (999 vs 7) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 17 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Score Anything sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Game Notebook asks for nothing beyond the download.

Score Anything holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Score Anything has 999 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Game Notebook's written reviews are positive against 99% of Score Anything's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Game Notebook ships an update every 17 months, Score Anything every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
