# Score It vs Payback Arcade

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Payback Arcade at none against Score It's 2. Payback Arcade also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks). Score It's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 3). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Score It against 5.0 for Payback Arcade. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Score It has 29 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
