Score Counter is the most flexible score-tracking app for card games, board games, and any other game where points matter. Whether you're playing with two people or a full table, Score Counter keeps everyone's tallies accurate and beautifully organised. PLAYERS Add as many players as you need, reorder them by dragging, or deactivate a player mid-game — their scores are preserved but they disappear from the main board until you reactivate them. Tap a column header to assign the dealer crown. SCORE ENTRY Choose between two entry modes: Any Value lets you type any number (positive, negative, or zero), while Predefined Values gives you a set of quick-tap buttons for lightning-fast entry. Enable Positive-only mode to prevent accidental negative scores. BOARD LAYOUTS Free Order lets any player score at any time, ideal for casual play. Sequential (One by One) enforces strict turn order, keeping every round perfectly consistent — great for trick-taking games or any game with clear turns. SCORE DISPLAY Pick the style that suits your game: Summaries shows running totals; Partial scores shows each individual round; Combined shows both at once; Alternating switches between them automatically. Per-score font styling (Normal, Bold, Italic, Bold-Italic) lets you highlight important entries. CALCULATOR The built-in calculator handles complex additions with memory functions — M+, M−, MR, and MC — so you never need to leave the app to crunch numbers. SAVED GAMES & AUTOSAVE Every game is saved automatically. The Saved Games list lets you restore any past session with a single tap, so a dead battery or a phone call never costs you your scores. REACHING A TARGET SCORE Set a target score and Score Counter celebrates when a player reaches it with a winner animation. If multiple players hit the target, they're ranked by who reached it first. GAME SETTINGS Choose Highest wins or Lowest wins to match your game's rules. Configure dark mode, light mode, or follow the system setting. Shake the phone to reset scores, undo the last entry, or start a brand-new game. IN-APP PURCHASES The free version supports up to 5 players, 10 scores per player, and 2 saved games. Remove Limits unlocks unlimited players, scores, and saved games. Extended Main Board unlocks Sequential mode with a free 10-minute trial.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Scores at 4.6 against Score Count's 3.6. Scores also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 43%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). Score Count's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Score Count sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Scores sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Scores holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scores has 120 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 Scores's.
Score Count ships an update every 4 months, Scores every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
