What they do that we do not
This is the section most comparison pages leave out, which is why most comparison pages are useless. If any of the following matters to you, they are the better choice and you should stop reading here.
They are on the App Store and Google Play and we are not — if you want an icon on your home screen from a store, they have one today and we have a web app you install yourself. Their pool hall locator is a genuinely nice idea that we have no equivalent of. And they are free on every feature they offer, with no paid tier at all.
- Single-tap shot tracking and a live leaderboard
- Up to 20 players in a game
- Shuffle, reorder and drag players in the roster
- Spectator mode — others follow on their own devices
- QR code or link invites
- Works offline, explicitly for "basement bars"
- Game history and long-term stats across player groups
- A pool hall locator with a global map
- Free on web, iOS and Android
What we do that they do not
- Who has paid, the pot total, and what it pays out three ways
- A TV display built to be read across a room, on its own URL
- Unlimited undo of any shot, including an elimination
- Venue branding, a public venue page and staff accounts
- Up to eight tables at once
- No cap on players
Which to pick
Pick 3 Strikes if you are running a night for money and doing the pot arithmetic on a phone calculator, or you want the board up on a screen the whole bar can see.
Stay with Killer Pool Scoreboard if you want a free lives counter on your phone and nothing else, or you specifically want a native app from a store.
