The best padel score apps for iPhone and Apple Watch, compared
By Rupangkan KalitaPublished
There is no single best padel score app. On the UK App Store on 2 November 2026, PadelTick had the most ratings (91), and Padel Watch was the only one whose store page says scoring stays free. Bajada, our app, gives you 3 full matches free, then costs £19.99 once or £4.99 a month.
Looking for the best padel app to keep score? Six padel score apps for iPhone and Apple Watch keep coming up: Bajada, Padel Watch, PadelTick, Padel Point, PADEL'EM and Padel Pointer. We make Bajada, so read this as a maker's comparison. Every fact about the other five comes from their own UK App Store pages, checked on 2 November 2026, and the links are at the end.
Which padel score apps did we compare?
We started from the apps that AI assistants named most often when we asked them, in November 2026, which app to use for keeping padel score. Padel Watch, Padel Point and PadelTick led. PADEL'EM and Padel Pointer were close behind. Bajada was not named at all, which is fair for an app that reached the App Store on 7 October 2026.
All six are free to download, and all six have an Apple Watch app. They differ mostly in what you pay for and in what stays free.
How do the apps compare on price, free use and ratings?
UK App Store facts, checked 2026-11-02. Prices are the in-app purchases each store page listed that day; where a page listed several prices for one plan, we show the range.
| App | In-app prices (UK) | What the store page says is free | Apple Watch | UK ratings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bajada | Pro Lifetime £19.99 once, or Pro Monthly £4.99 | First 3 matches, with every feature | Yes, plus iPhone and iPad | 0 (released 7 Oct 2026) |
| Padel Watch | Premium £2.99 to £3.99 a month, or £24.99 to £44.99 a year | Scoring on Apple Watch and iPhone; advanced stats need a subscription | Yes, plus iPhone | 8 (average 3.9) |
| PadelTick | PadelTick+ £1.99 a week, £3.99 a month or £34.99 a year | Not stated | Yes, plus iPhone and iPad | 91 (average 4.8) |
| Padel Point | In-app purchases, prices not listed on the UK page | Not stated | Yes, plus iPhone | 24 (average 4.9) |
| PADEL'EM | £6.99 to £8.99 a month, or £44.99 to £69.99 a year | Not stated | Yes, also Wear OS | 0 |
| Padel Pointer | Padel Pointer Pro at £4.99, £29.99 or £49.99 (period not named) | Not stated | Yes, plus iPhone and iPad; needs iOS 26 and watchOS 26 | 23 (average 4.5) |
Ratings are UK only. Every country's App Store keeps its own count, so PadelTick's 91 does not include, say, its Spanish or German ratings.
What does each app say it can do?
This second table comes from each app's App Store description. "Not mentioned" means the description does not say so; the app may still do it.
| App | Deuce rules named | Americano or Mexicano | Workout saved to Apple Health | Other things it highlights |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bajada | Golden Point, Star Point, Advantage | Scores an Americano (16, 21, 24 or 32 points) | Yes | Win rate, recent form, XP levels and 47 badges; no account |
| Padel Watch | Advantage, golden point, star point | Not mentioned | Workout mode with heart rate, distance and calories | Set-by-set stats on iPhone |
| PadelTick | Not mentioned | Not mentioned | Yes | Live score sharing with friends and spectators |
| Padel Point | Advantage, golden point | Mexicano tournaments with matchmaking, on iPhone | Yes | Strategy drawing board; undo up to 5 scores on the watch |
| PADEL'EM | Not named; tie-break type is configurable | Americano mode | Not mentioned; tracks heart rate and calories | Shot and error tracking, AI coach, spoken score |
| Padel Pointer | Classic, Golden, Silver and Star Point | Americano rounds of 16 to 32 points | Yes | LTA FAST4 format, story-format match summaries |
Which padel scoreboard app is free?
None of the six charges for the download. What happens next is where they split. Padel Watch's description says keeping score on the Apple Watch and iPhone is free, and a subscription unlocks the advanced stats. Bajada gives you your first 3 matches with every feature, then asks for Pro.
PadelTick, Padel Point, PADEL'EM and Padel Pointer all sell in-app purchases, but their store pages do not say what stays free. Open the app and look at the paywall before you plan a season around it.
Which is the best padel app for Apple Watch?
All six score from the wrist. If you want the one most UK players have rated, that is PadelTick, with 91 ratings averaging 4.8. Padel Point (24) and Padel Pointer (23) come next.
Two practical checks before you install. Padel Pointer needs iOS 26 on your iPhone and watchOS 26 on your watch. PADEL'EM says a smartwatch is required to track your stats, and its phone app is for looking at them afterwards. PADEL'EM is also the only one of the six that mentions Wear OS.
Bajada does not need a watch. You can keep score on an iPhone or iPad, and the Apple Watch app adds wrist scoring and saves each match to Health as a padel workout with heart rate and calories.
Which app suits an Americano night?
Scoring an Americano and running one are different jobs. Bajada, Padel Pointer and PADEL'EM score an Americano match. Padel Point goes further on the iPhone with Mexicano tournaments: it makes the teams and games and keeps a live leaderboard.
Bajada does not draw rounds or rotate partners for a group. It scores the match in front of you: you pick 16, 21, 24 or 32 points, the serve changes every 4 points and the screen shows how many are left.
Where does Bajada fall short?
Better you hear it from us than find out after the third match:
- It is new. It reached the App Store on 7 October 2026 and has no UK ratings yet.
- The free part is 3 matches. After that, scoring needs Bajada Pro: £19.99 once for Lifetime, or £4.99 a month, and the monthly plan starts with a 1-week free trial.
- There is no live score sharing and no shot tracking. PadelTick shares live scores; PADEL'EM tracks shots and errors.
- It is Apple only: iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. There is no Android or Wear OS version.
- It does not organise Americano or Mexicano rotations for a whole group.
What it does well is the basic job. You tap the side that won the point and it handles 15-30-40, deuce, tiebreaks, sets and which side serves. Golden Point, Star Point or Advantage is set once and remembered for every Quick Match. Your matches stay on your device, with no account to create. The Bajada home page shows the scoreboard, the watch app and the stats screens.
How should you choose a padel score app?
- Start with your watch. Any of the six works with an Apple Watch. If you wear Wear OS, PADEL'EM is the one that mentions it, and if you play without a watch, pick an app that scores on the phone, such as Bajada.
- Match your club's deuce rule. If you play Star Point, Bajada, Padel Watch and Padel Pointer name it on their store pages.
- Decide how you want to pay. Bajada sells a one-time Lifetime unlock next to a monthly plan. Padel Watch, PadelTick and PADEL'EM list monthly or yearly subscriptions.
- Score one real match in the free part before you pay for anything.
If Bajada sounds like a fit, get Bajada on the App Store and play your first 3 matches free. Questions or a missing rule? The support page reaches the maker directly.
