Need a simple scoreboard for a backyard game, youth sports, table tennis or game night? Scorely turns your iPhone into a big-digit scoreboard for two teams, with giant numbers you can read from across the room. Type the team names, choose a period style, and open the board. Tap a team's score to add a point โ€” that's it. โ€ข GIANT SCORES โ€” two teams side by side in huge digits, in portrait or landscape. โ€ข FAST SCORING โ€” tap a score for +1, touch and hold for โˆ’1, or use the โˆ’, + and +2 buttons. Scores run from 0 to 999. โ€ข PERIODS YOUR WAY โ€” label the period as P, Q (quarter), H (half) or Set for volleyball and tennis, and step it up or down. โ€ข CLEAN FULL SCREEN โ€” double-tap to hide the controls so only the names, scores and period show. Reset puts both scores back to zero and the period back to 1. โ€ข SHARE THE RESULT โ€” turn the board into a landscape PDF to share, print with AirPrint or save to Files โ€” handy for a final score or a results sheet on the wall. Honest scope: Scorely is a manual scoreboard for two teams โ€” there's no game clock, shot clock, match history or team stats, and scores aren't saved when you close the app. To show it on a TV, use your iPhone's Screen Mirroring. The screen stays on while the board is open, so it won't dim or lock mid-game. Everything runs on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. The live scoreboard is free to use, and you can share 3 board PDFs for free. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited board PDFs. No subscription, no ads. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Scorely at none against M's shown. Scorely also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
