Built for tournament use: - Fast, distraction-free scoring interface for judges - Works entirely over the venue's local network, with no account required - Supports both Recognised and Freestyle Poomsae formats - Designed for landscape use on phones and tablets courtside PoomsaeJudge is intended for use at accredited Taekwondo competitions alongside a compatible Operator scoring system, and is not a general consumer app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PoomsaeJudge at daily against TKD Ref Client's fortnightly. TKD Ref Client's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
