This is the best app to track your climbing and boulder sessions automatically. Redpoint gives you detailed overview and feedback on your ascents. Use your Watch or iPhone as a fitness tracker for bouldering and climbing. Contribute your climbing session to closing your daily rings! Workouts are stored in HealthKit and therefore visible in the Health app and Workouts app as well. After each session you will see detailed information about your climbs: the overall height, your heart rate, duration, maximum ascent height, ascending speed, difficulty of routes, and most importantly: Redpoint will give you personalized training suggestions based on that data. How to go from V4 to V5? Or from 5.11b to 5.11c? Redpoint creates a training plan just for you to achieve your next climbing goals. So, how does that work? Thanks to highly advanced machine learning we are able to classify climbing movements right on your Watch. In addition to that we use the built-in barometer to measure the ascended altitude. You can track the difficulty of ascended routes right from the Watch. With Redpoint you can use your Watch for: - Bouldering - Top Rope - Sport Climbing - Trad Climbing - Multi Rope (Alpine) - Free Solo - Aid Climbing - Via Ferrata - Ice Climbing Available Redpoint Membership Subscriptions: There are two options available: Three-months membership and annual membership.

Running a bouldering competition shouldn't mean drowning in paper scorecards and spreadsheets. BoulderScoring is the competition management app built specifically for climbing gyms and comp organizers — so you can focus on the event, not the math. Set up in minutes. Create your comp, configure categories, assign boulders, and share a password with your climbers. That's it. No complicated setup, no IT required. Real-time scoring, live leaderboards. Scores update the moment they're entered. Climbers, coaches, and spectators can follow standings live on any device — no refreshing, no waiting. Self-entry or judge mode — your call. Let climbers log their own sends on their phones, or assign judges to boulders for formal competitions where accuracy matters. Both modes work together seamlessly. Flexible enough for many formats. Points-based scoring with tops, zones, and attempt penalties. Redpoint scoring with custom boulder values. Tops-only. Flash bonuses. Configure it to match your comp exactly. Built for real gyms. Separate categories by gender, age, and skill level. Assign different boulder sets to different divisions. Run team competitions alongside individual results. Export final standings when it's done. BoulderScoring is free to use. No subscriptions, no per-event fees — just a better way to run your comp.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Boulder Scoring at 100% against Redpoint's 46%. Boulder Scoring also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Redpoint's advantage is ratings volume (566 vs 6) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Redpoint holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Redpoint has 566 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Redpoint's written reviews are positive against 100% of Boulder Scoring's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Redpoint ships an update every 2 months, Boulder Scoring every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
