# mScorecard vs Roundabout

mScorecard and Roundabout both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of mScorecard's written reviews are positive against 56% of Roundabout's. Roundabout's advantage is ratings volume (5.1K vs 441). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. mScorecard sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Roundabout sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

mScorecard holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roundabout has 5.1K ratings behind it against 441, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of mScorecard's written reviews are positive against 56% of Roundabout's.

mScorecard ships an update fortnightly, Roundabout every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
