# Backdrops vs PitWall Club

Backdrops and PitWall Club both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 60% of Backdrops's written reviews are positive against 37% of PitWall Club's. Backdrops also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 267) and device support (3 vs 1). PitWall Club's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Backdrops sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and PitWall Club sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Backdrops against 4.6 for PitWall Club. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backdrops has 1.6K ratings behind it against 267, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Backdrops's written reviews are positive against 37% of PitWall Club's.

Backdrops ships an update every 2 months, PitWall Club every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
