# APA Scorekeeper vs WPB

The clearest difference is rating: WPB at 4.4 against APA Scorekeeper's 3.1. WPB also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). APA Scorekeeper's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WPB sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. APA Scorekeeper asks for nothing beyond the download.

WPB holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 275 and 253 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of APA Scorekeeper's written reviews are positive against 25% of WPB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

APA Scorekeeper ships an update every 2 weeks, WPB weekly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
