Oche vs DartCounter
A full darts scoring app with online play, and a smaller one made for games in the same room. Here is how they compare on the caller, names, games and price.
DartCounter is a full darts scoring app: online matches, a virtual opponent, training games, detailed statistics and the voice of MasterCaller Ray Martin. Oche does less, on purpose: it keeps score for a game in the same room and calls it out loud.
DartCounter works without an account for basic scoring, and its free version includes 8 game modes, basic statistics and 3 online matches a week. Ultimate adds unlimited online play, ranked games, tournaments, more modes, extensive statistics and MasterCaller calling your name; names come from personalised callouts, and Ultimate members can request a new personalised callout every month.
Oche scores 501, 301, 701 and Cricket for 1 to 8 players, suggests checkouts and keeps leg and match stats. Its caller announces every visit's score, the checkout when one is on, and each player's first name, whatever you type, using your phone's voice, with a pronunciation you can fix. There's no account, it works offline, and the free version shows one ad between games, never during one.
Pick DartCounter to play online or train with structured games. Pick Oche for nights at home or at the pub where everyone wants to hear their own name.
