Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Keep Score at none against Virtual Scoreboard's 3. Keep Score also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Virtual Scoreboard's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
