Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Keep Score at 5.0 against The Picklr's 4.4. Keep Score also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and device support (4 vs 2). The Picklr's advantage is ratings volume (552 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Keep Score holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Picklr has 552 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
The Picklr ships an update fortnightly, Keep Score every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
