Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Blackball Timer Pro at none against Darts Scorer's shown. Blackball Timer Pro also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). Darts Scorer's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
