Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LED Scoreboard at 4.4 against Sideout Scoreboard's 3.3. LED Scoreboard also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (244 vs 4). Sideout Scoreboard's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LED Scoreboard holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LED Scoreboard has 244 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Sideout Scoreboard's written reviews are positive against 73% of LED Scoreboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sideout Scoreboard ships an update every 20 months, LED Scoreboard every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
