# forScore vs MobileSheets®

The clearest difference is price: MobileSheets® at $15.99 against forScore's $24.99. MobileSheets® also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and review sentiment (81% vs 50%). forScore's advantage is ratings volume (43K vs 64) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

forScore costs $24.99 and MobileSheets® $15.99 up front. forScore sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year. MobileSheets® asks for nothing beyond the download.

forScore holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: forScore has 43K ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of forScore's written reviews are positive against 81% of MobileSheets®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
