Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
GPUScore
Read full descriptionHide full description
This is a benchmark application, meant to retrieve information about the performance of devices running on iOS. It uses a ray traced 3D scene and measures the time to render each frame. Based on these measurements it outputs a score.
Super PiBench
This app calculates Pi to a specified number of decimal places using a high-performance engine. It offers benchmarking, a global leaderboard, and stress testing to evaluate device performance. Users can explore Pi-related knowledge and share results.
- Pi computation to any decimal place
- High-performance C/GMP engine
- Global leaderboard for device comparison
- Device stress testing
- Multi-core parallel computation (Pro)
- Pi Knowledge module

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GPUScore at none against Super PiBench's 1. Super PiBench's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
