# Softball Stats vs Backside Stats

The clearest difference is price: Backside Stats at Free against Softball Stats's $2.99. Backside Stats also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (76 vs 2). Softball Stats's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 16.1). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Backside Stats is free to download; Softball Stats costs $2.99 up front. Backside Stats sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $49.99 per year. Softball Stats asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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.
