Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 4APP Sports at 4.4 against Poptime's 3.7. 4APP Sports also leads on chart position (#169 vs unranked). Poptime's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. 4APP Sports sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Poptime sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

4APP Sports holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 195 and 82 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of 4APP Sports's written reviews are positive against 73% of Poptime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

4APP Sports ships an update every 3 weeks, Poptime every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
