# Pointedly vs Game Sheets

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Game Sheets at none against Pointedly's 3. Game Sheets also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Pointedly's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 14). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pointedly sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Game Sheets asks for nothing beyond the download.

Game Sheets holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pointedly has 2.5K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 95% of Pointedly's written reviews are positive against 96% of Game Sheets's.

Pointedly ships an update every 2 months, Game Sheets fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
