# SmartScout Baseball vs Pitch Counter

The clearest difference is ads: Pitch Counter at none against SmartScout Baseball's shown. Pitch Counter also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). SmartScout Baseball's advantage is ratings volume (489 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SmartScout Baseball sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Pitch Counter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pitch Counter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartScout Baseball has 489 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
