FencingPool lets you track who you're fencing next, when you are up in a pool, and whether you're left or right. Rather than finding your pool on www.fencingtimelive.com, taking a screenshot of the details list (and possibly marking it up with scores), FencingPool directly imports the pool data, highlights your bouts, and lets you record scores directly. Every time you enter a score after a bout, your next bout is highlighted. At the end of the pool, a handy grid display shows your scores for easy comparison with the referee's pool sheet. The best way to add a new pool is to go to fencingtimelive.com, find your pool, click on the "Details" tab and scroll to the very bottom. Click on "Open in FencingPool" to have the details of your pool loaded into the app. Alternately, you can use your phone's camera to scan the QR code at the bottom of the referee's score sheet once you arrive at the strip.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fencing Score at 4.9 against FencingPool's 3.8. Fencing Score also leads on ratings volume (17 vs 5). FencingPool's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Fencing Score holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Fencing Score's written reviews are positive against 100% of FencingPool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fencing Score ships an update every 15 months, FencingPool fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
