Dink Data is a pickleball match & stat tracker built to be used while you play. The score lives on your Apple Watch — two big buttons, one tap per point — and when you dump an easy ball into the net, one tap logs the error and the game moves on. Nobody waits. I built it because playing more wasn't making me better. At rec level, games are decided by unforced errors — points you give away, not points anyone earns. Once you can see that number, practice stops being random. COUNTS AS A WORKOUT • Start a match and your watch records the whole session as a pickleball workout — heart rate, active calories, and Activity rings, rest between matches included. One Health prompt on your iPhone, no separate fitness app to juggle. TRACK WHILE YOU PLAY • Live scoring on Apple Watch: two big buttons sized for sweaty hands • Score and stats on separate screens, one swipe apart • One-tap stat logging with one-tap undo • Works without the phone; everything syncs when you're back THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER • Win rate, record, streaks, and point differential — always with a trend • Unforced errors per game, and whether it's falling • Any window: this month, 30 or 90 days, this year, all time • Custom stats with your own names and icons FIX ANYTHING LATER • Add or edit any stat on any finished match, game by game • Nothing locks when the match ends PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no ads, no Health or location access • Your data stays on your devices and in your iCloud Free for your first 14 days, then a subscription. No app teaches you a third-shot drop - but this one tells you whether it's working. Terms of Use: https://dinkdata.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://dinkdata.app/privacy.html

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: PB Vision at free with in-app purchases against Pickleball's subscription. PB Vision also leads on ratings volume (138 vs 3) and chart position (#135 vs unranked). Pickleball's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PB Vision sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Pickleball sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
