Scythe Hepler
Read full descriptionHide full description
This application is an assistant for the board game "Scythe". The purpose of the application is to help players calculate the total result of the game and determine the winner. Scythe is a board game set in an alternate 1920s. This is a time of war and harvest, of broken hearts and rusty cars, of innovation and valor. I really hope that this application will help you enjoy this wonderful game.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Scythe Hepler at Free against Gaia Project's $9.99. Scythe Hepler also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). Gaia Project's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
