iStatVball is a long-running mobile stats app sold per season, with video sync and a MaxPreps integration. Rufio Stats is a free iPhone and iPad app built around tracking a match across several devices at once. Here is how they compare.

| Platforms | iPhone and iPad only, no Android | iOS and Android |
| Multi-device live tracking | Split serve, attack, and defense across up to three devices at once, merged into one live game | Move between devices as one user; not built around several people tracking one match at the same time |
| Video sync | Not yet | Yes |
| MaxPreps integration | No | Yes |
| Live page for parents | Built in, optional, off by default, free | Not advertised as a feature |

It's been a mobile stats option for over a decade, with video sync and a MaxPreps connection for programs that already report there. That comes as paid software, purchased per season.
There's no cost and no season to buy. What Rufio Stats adds instead is built-in live tracking across several devices at once, so serve receive, attack, and defense can each be someone's job during the same match, and a free live page family can watch without an account.
