# Classic Words vs Keep Score

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Classic Words at 67% against Keep Score's 0%. Keep Score's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Classic Words sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Keep Score sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Keep Score holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Classic Words's written reviews are positive against 0% of Keep Score's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Classic Words ships an update monthly, Keep Score every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
