Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Backside Stats at 4.7 against Play Ball Scorebook's 4.0. Backside Stats also leads on ratings volume (78 vs 1). Play Ball Scorebook's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Backside Stats holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backside Stats has 78 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Play Ball Scorebook's written reviews are positive against 80% of Backside Stats's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
