Yahtzee Scoring is a clean, fast scorecard for the classic five-dice game, and it's completely free. No ads. No paywalls. No "pro" version. Every feature is included, for everyone. Most dice-scoring apps make you watch ads or pay to unlock players, history, or stats. This one doesn't. You roll the dice, we'll keep score. FEATURES • Score up to 10 players in a single game • Full upper and lower scorecard with automatic totals • Live upper-section bonus tracking; see exactly how far each player is from the bonus • Automatic Yahtzee bonus and grand-total math • Tap any box to score; only valid scores are offered, so mistakes are hard to make • Game history; every finished game is saved automatically • Player stats; wins and high scores across all your games • Frozen category column and smooth scrolling for big groups • Light and dark mode, built for iPhone NO STRINGS ATTACHED The entire app is free, with no ads and nothing locked behind a purchase. If you'd like to support development you can leave an optional tip, but it's purely a 'thank you' and unlocks nothing. You never have to spend a cent to use every feature. Grab your dice, gather your friends, and let the app handle the math.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: The Mahjong App at 4.9 against Yahtzee Scoring's 1.0. The Mahjong App also leads on ratings volume (8.5K vs 2) and chart position (#104 vs unranked). Yahtzee Scoring's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
