Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iScore at none against Games Keeper's 1. iScore also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Games Keeper's advantage is ratings volume (466 vs 9) and review sentiment (76% vs 56%). On price and ads 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. Games Keeper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. iScore asks for nothing beyond the download.
iScore holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Games Keeper has 466 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of iScore's written reviews are positive against 76% of Games Keeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iScore ships an update monthly, Games Keeper every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
