IBEscore

IBEscore scores competitive bridge games. It is designed to be set up and operated ONLY using players' own mobile devices. The App only needs wifi, or mobile signal. A tiny amount of data is used to transfer scores to the app's web server during a session. Players can enter scores, view results and watch their rankings change each round. Each game has a new setup, which can be done at the playing venue, or remotely from anywhere. IBEscore's unique design principle is unique in that all game administration can be done using the same mobile application. And their are real people you can contact for help - we are experts in bridge game organisation, scoring and the laws of the game. Each organiser has a unique IBEscore game code. Players open an application on their own phone, tablet or iPad, and use the code to launch a terminal for score entry, checking results or to view rankings during the session. The organiser has access to extra tools for pre- and post-game scoring admin from their own device, and via the IBEscore website. IBEscore can also be used for entering results from paper travellers with ease, and flexibility to input data anywhere, with an immediacy that leverages quiet moments while play is underway.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ArcScorer at none against IBEscore's shown. IBEscore's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
