Big Shots Global holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Big Shots Global has 509 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of MaxPreps Advantage's written reviews are positive against 0% of Big Shots Global's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MaxPreps Advantage ships an update every 3 weeks, Big Shots Global every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
