Both are free to download. Pickleball Tracker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Padel Pointer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pickleball Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pickleball Tracker has 624 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Pickleball Tracker's written reviews are positive against 92% of Padel Pointer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pickleball Tracker ships an update every 3 weeks, Padel Pointer every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
