# Virtual Scoreboard vs Volley Scoreboard

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Virtual Scoreboard at 23K against Volley Scoreboard's 124. Virtual Scoreboard also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Virtual Scoreboard sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Volley Scoreboard sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Virtual Scoreboard against 4.6 for Volley Scoreboard. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Virtual Scoreboard has 23K ratings behind it against 124, so its average is the more settled of the two.
