Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Prodigies at 4.7 against Score's 3.6. Prodigies also leads on ratings volume (337 vs 5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Score's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Score sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Prodigies sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Prodigies holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prodigies has 337 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Score's written reviews are positive against 82% of Prodigies's.
Score ships an update every 3 months, Prodigies monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
