BarkBoard is the home for your dog's competition career. Instead of juggling a separate portal and spreadsheet for every organization you compete in, track every result, title, and qualifying score in one place. EVERY SPORT, ONE DASHBOARD Log and follow results across the sports and orgs you actually compete in: - Disc dog — UpDog, Skyhoundz, USDDN, AWI, UFO - Flyball — UFLi, NAFA - Agility — AKC, UKI - Dock diving — NADD, DockDogs - FastCAT, Quadruped, and more TITLES & QUALIFIERS See how close your dog is to their next title, and track qualifying runs (Q's) as you earn them. BarkBoard can auto-detect qualifying placements and let you confirm or adjust them, so your progress toward every title stays current. PER-DOG PROFILES Every dog gets a profile with their full competitive history, achievements, and stats — a clean record of everything they've accomplished. STAY IN SYNC For organizations with public results, BarkBoard shows whether each entry is synced or still pending, so you always know what's official. DISCOVER EVENTS Find upcoming events and keep track of the ones you're going to. Whether you run one dog in one sport or a whole pack across a dozen orgs, BarkBoard scales to your roster. Start tracking every sport in one dashboard — download BarkBoard today.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BarkBoard App at none against Sparrow's 10. BarkBoard App also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Sparrow's advantage is chart position (#110 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
