# FingerBeat vs ScoreParrot

The clearest difference is update cadence: ScoreParrot at every 5 days against FingerBeat's every 2 months. ScoreParrot also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). FingerBeat's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (66 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FingerBeat sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and ScoreParrot sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScoreParrot holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FingerBeat has 66 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

FingerBeat ships an update every 2 months, ScoreParrot every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
