ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Basketball Simple Stat Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Basketball Simple Stat Tracker has 2.6K ratings behind it against 97, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Breakthrough Stats's written reviews are positive against 82% of Basketball Simple Stat Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Breakthrough Stats ships an update every 6 weeks, Basketball Simple Stat Tracker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
