Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Score Anything at 4.9 against Skull Keeper's 4.0. Score Anything also leads on review sentiment (99% vs 71%) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 12 months). Skull Keeper's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
