# GDOスコア vs PGMアプリ

The clearest difference is rating: PGMアプリ at 5.0 against GDOスコア's 4.5. PGMアプリ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). GDOスコア's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 57%) and ratings volume (61 vs 6). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GDOスコア sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. PGMアプリ asks for nothing beyond the download.

PGMアプリ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GDOスコア has 61 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of GDOスコア's written reviews are positive against 57% of PGMアプリ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GDOスコア ships an update monthly, PGMアプリ every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
