# Winner vs Soccer Referee

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Soccer Referee at none against Winner's 3. Soccer Referee also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Winner's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Winner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Soccer Referee asks for nothing beyond the download.

Soccer Referee holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Winner has 1.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Winner's written reviews are positive against 100% of Soccer Referee's.

Winner ships an update every 2 weeks, Soccer Referee every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
