# sidelineHD vs Dugout App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dugout App at 100% against sidelineHD's 54%. Dugout App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). sidelineHD's advantage is ratings volume (81 vs 8) and chart position (#171 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. sidelineHD sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Dugout App sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dugout App holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: sidelineHD has 81 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
