# Redpoint vs Boulder Scoring

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.

Both are free to download. Redpoint sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Boulder Scoring asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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.
