ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Backside Stats holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backside Stats has 76 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Softball Stats's written reviews are positive against 80% of Backside Stats's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Softball Stats ships an update every 2 months, Backside Stats monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and August 28, 2026 respectively.
