Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Backside Stats at none against StrikeEmOut's shown. Backside Stats also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). StrikeEmOut's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and review sentiment (89% vs 80%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StrikeEmOut sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Backside Stats sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $49.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Backside Stats holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 311 and 79 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of StrikeEmOut's written reviews are positive against 80% of Backside Stats's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
StrikeEmOut ships an update fortnightly, Backside Stats monthly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
