# Adderpad vs Scoreboard

The clearest difference is update cadence: Scoreboard at every 5 weeks against Adderpad's every 8 months. Scoreboard also leads on ratings volume (364 vs 24). Adderpad's advantage is iOS requirement (12.4 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Adderpad sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Scoreboard sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Adderpad holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scoreboard has 364 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 80% and 79% positive.

Adderpad ships an update every 8 months, Scoreboard every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
