# iScore Baseball and Softball vs Backside Stats

The clearest difference is rating: Backside Stats at 4.7 against iScore Baseball and Softball's 4.2. Backside Stats also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). iScore Baseball and Softball's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 76). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iScore Baseball and Softball sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Backside Stats sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $49.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Backside Stats holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iScore Baseball and Softball has 1.4K ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of iScore Baseball and Softball's written reviews are positive against 80% of Backside Stats's.
