# MyScorecard vs Simple Handicap

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.

Both are free to download. MyScorecard sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Simple Handicap sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for MyScorecard against 4.7 for Simple Handicap. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyScorecard has 6.7K ratings behind it against 382, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 31% of MyScorecard's written reviews are positive against 82% of Simple Handicap's.

MyScorecard ships an update every 2 months, Simple Handicap fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
