StatMe is a basketball stats and recruiting app built for youth and amateur teams. Coaches, parents, and players use it to record games live, review film, and put real numbers in front of verified scouts. RECORD GAMES LIVE Track every play from the bench with a fast, tap-first scoring screen. Log shots with their on-court location, plus rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers, and fouls. Run the game clock, manage substitutions, and undo mistakes as they happen. Practice mode lets you run drills without touching season stats. BOX SCORES AND SEASON STATS Every game produces a full box score. Player pages roll games up into season totals, averages, shooting percentages, and shot charts. When a season ends, archive it and start the next one. Past seasons stay available in a read-only archive. TEAMS, ROSTERS, AND SCHEDULES Coaches create teams, build rosters, and invite players and parents with simple join codes. Add games and practices to the team schedule so everyone knows where to be. TEAM CHAT Message the whole team in one thread, or send direct messages to teammates, coaches, and linked parents. Chat stays inside your team network. Long-press any message to report it, and block anyone you no longer want to hear from. Reports are reviewed and acted on within 24 hours. GAME FILM Upload game film and watch it in the app alongside the box score. Film access is limited to the team and, when a player chooses, to verified scouts. RECRUITING PROFILES Players can build a recruiting profile with vitals, stats, film, and optional academics (GPA, SAT, and ACT scores). Scouts must be verified and approved before they can browse players. Academic information is only visible to the audience the player selects. PLAYER POSTERS Turn a strong performance into a poster with the player's name, photo, and stat line, ready to save or share. BUILT FOR FAMILIES Parents link to their player's account to follow stats, film, and team activity. StatMe is for players 13 and older; every player owns their own account, and parents connect to it with a simple code. FREE, WITH NO ADS StatMe is free. No ads, no in-app purchases, and no third-party ad or tracking SDKs. StatMe is available in the United States. You must be 13 or older to create your own account.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: StatMe at 5.0 against PaddleStack's 4.7. PaddleStack's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
