Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Scoreboard at none against Virtual Scoreboard's shown. Scoreboard also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Virtual Scoreboard's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 3) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
