The easy way to calculate scores! Use the app for free to see if you like it. FEATURES ◆ Choose Contract Bridge or IMP scoring ◆ For iPhone and iPad (synchronized) ◆ Unique option: Score Adjustment ◆ Statistics after each round ◆ Save played rounds ◆ Quick start for regular players ('Recycle') ◆ Use offline ◆ No ads and no selling of data ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ▶ SCORE ADJUSTMENT (option) The Score Adjustment option ensures that a high score does not necessarily depend on being dealt a strong hand by chance. With this setting, the app calculates a so-called target score for the leader on each board. This target score is an approximation of the score the declarer should achieve, based on the points, suits, and number of trumps in their hand. After each board, the target score is subtracted from the actual score. ▶ STATISTICS After closing a round, a range of statistics is presented, including how often each player was declarer, which suits were played, the distribution of final bids, and more. ▶ RECYCLE Choose Recycle to instantly start a new game with the same players, scoring method, and score adjustment settings — perfect for players who regularly play together. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ QUESTIONS, FEEDBACK, REQUESTS? https://www.bridgescore.app/questions/ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ PRIVACY POLICY https://www.bridgescore.app/privacy-statement/ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ TERMS OF USE https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Bridge Score Keeper at free with in-app purchases against Bridge Mentor's subscription. Bridge Score Keeper also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 56%). Bridge Mentor's advantage is ratings volume (680 vs 6) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bridge Mentor sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.49 per month and Bridge Score Keeper sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bridge Mentor holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bridge Mentor has 680 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Bridge Mentor's written reviews are positive against 67% of Bridge Score Keeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bridge Mentor ships an update every 10 days, Bridge Score Keeper every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
