Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sport Dots at none against Long Narde's shown. Sport Dots also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16). Long Narde's advantage is ratings volume (271 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Long Narde sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Sport Dots sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Sport Dots holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Long Narde has 271 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Long Narde's written reviews are positive against 9% of Sport Dots's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Long Narde ships an update every 3 weeks, Sport Dots every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and July 30, 2026 respectively.
