# Scoreboard vs U

The clearest difference is rating: U at 5.0 against Scoreboard's 4.4. U also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Scoreboard's advantage is ratings volume (371 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scoreboard sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and U sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

U holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scoreboard has 371 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Scoreboard ships an update every 5 weeks, U fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
