Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scoreboard ∞ at none against Whistle Buddy's 1. Scoreboard ∞ also leads on ads (none vs shown). Whistle Buddy's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
