Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SingleScore | Make It Official at none against Ultimate Scoreboard's 2. SingleScore | Make It Official also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (82% vs 73%). Ultimate Scoreboard's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (377 vs 60). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ultimate Scoreboard holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ultimate Scoreboard has 377 ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of SingleScore | Make It Official's written reviews are positive against 73% of Ultimate Scoreboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SingleScore | Make It Official ships an update weekly, Ultimate Scoreboard every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
