Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Upper Dublin holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Upper Dublin has 109 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Upper Dublin's written reviews are positive against 100% of Life Time Pickleball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Upper Dublin ships an update every 4 weeks, Life Time Pickleball monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
