A shot clock that is ready when the game is: one tap starts it, and a loud buzzer ends the possession. Shotclock 24 Pro turns your iPhone or iPad into a clear, scoreboard-style 24-second shot clock for pickup games, practice, school sport and local leagues. Made for players, coaches, referees and timekeepers. • Big LED-style digits, always with tenths of a second: green until 10 seconds, red below • One-tap control: tap the display to start, pause and resume • Reset to 24 or 14 seconds with a single tap, for a fresh possession or an offensive rebound • Manual -1 s / +1 s correction for when the clock ran a beat past the whistle or stopped early • Quick rules reference: when the shot clock resets to 24, to 14, or stops • Buzzer at zero through the built-in speaker or a connected Bluetooth speaker • Five built-in sounds, a buzzer test and a mute button • Your own durations: set the Main Duration and the Secondary Duration to the exact seconds and tenths you need • Touch feedback (haptics) that you can switch off • Dark scoreboard look that is easy to read from a distance • Made for iPhone Duo: in tabletop mode the display stands upright and the controls lie flat on the table; held like a book, display and controls sit on either side of the fold • Works on iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad, in English, German, Spanish and Portuguese, with Dynamic Type Free to use.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pool Shot Clock at none against Shotclock 24 Pro's shown. Pool Shot Clock also leads on device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
