Verdict
MyScorecard and Simple Handicap both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 82% of Simple Handicap's written reviews are positive against 31% of MyScorecard's. Simple Handicap also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). MyScorecard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6.7K vs 382). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
