Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Game Notebook at none against Scoreboard's 12. Game Notebook also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Scoreboard's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (364 vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
