# Score Count vs GameScore

The clearest difference is rating: GameScore at 4.7 against Score Count's 3.6. GameScore also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 16). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Score Count sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and GameScore sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GameScore holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GameScore has 1.4K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Score Count's written reviews are positive against 66% of GameScore's.

Score Count ships an update every 4 months, GameScore every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 19, 2026.
