The Best Snooker Scoring Apps in 2026, Compared Honestly

Search "snooker scoring app" and you get a long list: phone scoreboards, streaming tools, tournament platforms and a few that try to do everything. They solve different problems, so the best one depends on what you need at your table. This guide compares five that come up most often, using only what each product says on its own store page or website, checked on 6 November 2026. We make SnookerFlow, so read our section with that in mind; we have tried to be as plain about its gaps as about everyone else's.

What to look for first

• Rules handling. Can it score a foul, a free ball and a re-spotted black, and tell you when snookers are required? This is where simple scoreboards fall short.
• Who scores. One phone on the table, a referee with a tablet, or anyone with a link?
• Streaming. Does it put a live scoreboard on your stream, and does that work with OBS or only inside its own app?
• Competitions. Do you need brackets, leagues and rankings, or just tonight's frame?
• Device and connection. iPhone only, Android, or any browser, and what happens when the club Wi-Fi drops?

Snooker Score (iPhone and iPad)

A simple electronic scoreboard from Aero Notion Limited, free on the App Store. Its listing says it tracks the frame and match score, points ahead, points remaining, the current break, the number of snookers required and the balls each player has potted, and saves every match result with the highest break and duration of each frame. Its version history adds a 6, 10 or 15 reds option. The listing does not mention fouls, free ball, streaming or tournaments, and the latest version shown is from March 2023. Good for two friends who want a clean score on a phone; not built for a broadcast.

147 Pro Snooker Score & Stream (iPhone and iPad)

Free on the App Store and labelled early access. According to its listing it handles fouls, free ball and snookers required, its version notes add re-spotted black logic, and it can stream to YouTube straight from the device at up to 1080p with a scoreboard overlay on the video. It also offers remote scoring through a link with no login and keeps a match history. The listing does not mention tournaments or statistics. If you want to stream a match from one iPhone with the score on screen, it is worth a look.

SnookCam (Apple devices)

A snooker-only app from Ilari Lehtinen, listed as free, with 6-red, 10-red, Shoot-Out and English billiards modes. Its listing says the scoring part gives automatic rule hints and foul warnings, and shows the score difference, points remaining and balls required to win; it says the score part is free until the end of 2027. Its ball replacement feature and live streaming depend on a separate SnookCam camera package. The listing does not mention OBS or tournaments.

CueSport Scoreboard (OBS plugin)

A free OBS overlay, listed on the OBS forum, for pool games and snooker. You add it as a browser source and a control dock inside OBS, and its page lists a ball tracker, on-overlay game stats, hotkeys, a shot clock, a sponsor logo slideshow and replay buffer control, with an optional cloud service for controlling it from your phone. It is a streamer's tool first: you run it on the streaming computer, and its page does not describe snooker rules such as free ball. A strong choice if you already live in OBS and play pool as well as snooker.

CueScore (web, tournaments and leagues)

CueScore is tournament and league software for many cue sports, snooker included. Its site describes it as an online tool that needs a browser and an internet connection, with a free account to start. Its Pro plan, listed at 29 a month or 249 a year (the page shows no currency), adds a digital scoreboard for a tablet at each table and a streaming overlay, alongside online entry payments, handicaps, memberships and a season calendar. If you run leagues or ranking events across a region, this is the category leader to compare against; it is less aimed at a single match night with one referee.

SnookerFlow (web, any device)

SnookerFlow runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or laptop, so there is nothing to install. The free plan covers unlimited matches, the full rules engine (fouls, free ball, re-spotted black, snookers required), match history, the Shoot-Out clock, remote scoring links and an OBS overlay with a small watermark. Pro adds your own branding and sponsors, doubles, Snooker 900 and English billiards; Club adds tournaments, brackets, player profiles and rankings. Paid plans start at £12 a month, with regional prices shown on the pricing page.

Where it is weaker: there is no native app in the App Store or Play Store (you can add it to your home screen instead), it needs an internet connection, though if the signal drops mid-match the pad keeps scoring and syncs when it is back, and it is snooker and English billiards only, with no pool. It also does not stream video itself; the overlay goes into OBS or similar software alongside your camera.

Side by side

Which one should you pick?

• Just keeping score with a friend on an iPhone: Snooker Score or 147 Pro.
• Streaming from one iPhone without a computer: 147 Pro.
• Already streaming pool and snooker in OBS: CueSport Scoreboard.
• Running leagues and regional ranking events: CueScore.
• A club or streamer who wants the full rules, a referee on a phone and a branded OBS overlay: SnookerFlow.

Most of these are free to try, so the quickest test is to score one frame with each on your own table, including a foul and a free ball. If you want to see how SnookerFlow handles a match night end to end, the quick start guide walks through your first match, and the product tour shows the referee pad, overlay and tournament tools together.
