# 2Counter vs Volley Scoreboard

The clearest difference is rating: Volley Scoreboard at 4.6 against 2Counter's 3.7. Volley Scoreboard also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 56%) and ratings volume (128 vs 3). 2Counter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2Counter sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Volley Scoreboard sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
