Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ScrambleScoring at none against Shot Pattern's 8. ScrambleScoring also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). Shot Pattern's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
