Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: VB Scoreboard Basic at 100% against WhatsTheScore?'s 63%. VB Scoreboard Basic also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 40 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). WhatsTheScore?'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and rating (3.7 vs 3.4). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VB Scoreboard Basic sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. WhatsTheScore? asks for nothing beyond the download.
WhatsTheScore? holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WhatsTheScore? has 26 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of VB Scoreboard Basic's written reviews are positive against 63% of WhatsTheScore?'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VB Scoreboard Basic ships an update every 3 weeks, WhatsTheScore? every 40 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
