# 4APP Sports vs Poptime

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.

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.

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.

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.
