VolleyWrite Buddy
Read full descriptionHide full description
The VolleyWrite Buddy connects to the Windows version (for now) of VolleyWrite via bluetooth or WiFi. The Buddy displays the team names, which sides of the court each team occupies, and their sets won as well as the players on the court (including where the libero should be, where the libero served and which team is serving) and substitution, timeout and challenge counts. VolleyWrite is volleyball scoring software that helps scorers do their job! You can keep up with the action on the court with simple clicks, so you're not holding up the match. Scoring notation is generated for all the actions you enter. Rules are built in to ensure you enter only legal actions. VolleyWrite reminds you of sub counts and set point so you can share that with the officials. Of course, libero tracking is also included along with libero tracking rules and scoring notation.

Every game throws off a hundred small moments. A rebound. A save. A strikeout looking. Tap Live Stats catches all of them — with one thumb, from the bleachers. TAP. THAT'S THE WHOLE WORKFLOW. Pick a sport, name the two teams, start tapping. Jersey number, action, done. The score updates itself. No menus to dig through, no spreadsheet to reconcile afterward, no clipboard left on the roof of the car. FOURTEEN SPORTS, EACH DONE PROPERLY Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, Cricket, Football, Gymnastics, Hockey, Lacrosse, Soccer, Softball, Swimming, Track, Volleyball, and Weightlifting — each with its own actions and its own real results, not one generic counter with the labels swapped out. Team sports get a live box score; cricket and bowling are scored ball by ball, with real scorecards; track, swimming, weightlifting, gymnastics, and bowling track every athlete in a meet, with rankings, totals, and team scores where the sport has them. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL AT ALL Ball fields are where cell service goes to die. Tap Live Stats writes to your device first, so a dead zone in the third inning costs you nothing. Sign in and your games sync up the moment you are back on Wi-Fi. A REAL BOX SCORE THE SECOND IT ENDS Points, rebounds, shooting percentages, hits, RBIs, saves, splits — all calculated live and ready to send to the group chat before you have left the parking lot. YOUR LEAGUE, TOO If your league runs on Tap Live Stats, you also get the full schedule, field assignments, live scores, standings, and archived past seasons — plus Ask JD, an assistant that answers plain questions about your league. "When does the 12U team play next?" "Who leads the conference?" FREE TO START Track a game right now without an account. A free account adds cloud backup and three active games. Premium lifts the cap and opens your full archive and season totals. Built for the coach, the scorekeeper, and the parent who ends up keeping stats anyway.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Tap Live Stats at Free against VolleyWrite Buddy's $0.99.

On device support there is nothing between them.
