Did your pace hold up? Stop guessing. See what changed. Wear your Apple Watch on your paddle wrist and play. Come back to a report showing your swings, your late-game pace, and your soft backhands. After another outing, see what changed since last time. No filming or point-by-point scoring. Take a look first. Open an example report before signing in to see how the app works. Made-up numbers, clearly labeled. Your own report comes from your recordings. COME BACK TO YOUR PLAY Read your session by the numbers. After another outing, see what changed since last time and the badges you earned. Share your report. ONE OUTING, ONE SESSION Your recordings stay together in one session, even when you pause between games. Separate outings can appear on the same day. Check your session history, lifetime totals, paddle, and Watch sync from the app. READY FOR THE COURT A short guide covers which wrist to use, how to start, and how to finish your outing so the recordings can sync and become a report when there is enough play to analyze. iPhone and Apple Watch required. HealthKit access supports heart rate and workouts. Motion data is used to record swings and prepare session reports. Privacy controls, support, and account deletion are available in the app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PickleBear at none against My DUPR Coach's 3. PickleBear also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). My DUPR Coach's advantage is iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
