# Scoreboard vs Buzzer

Scoreboard and Buzzer both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of Scoreboard's written reviews are positive against 67% of Buzzer's. Scoreboard also leads on ratings volume (371 vs 60). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scoreboard sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Buzzer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
