Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sideout Scoreboard at 100% against WhatsTheScore?'s 63%. Sideout Scoreboard also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). WhatsTheScore?'s advantage is rating (3.7 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (27 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WhatsTheScore? holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WhatsTheScore? has 27 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of WhatsTheScore?'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Sideout Scoreboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WhatsTheScore? ships an update every 40 months, Sideout Scoreboard every 20 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
