Straight answers on money, signal, formats and what open source actually means for your club.
01Is it actually free?
Yes. Every format, every screen, unlimited matches, and the live match link are in the free app. It is paid for by a banner ad on the scorecard and share screens. If you would rather not see it, ₹199 a year — or ₹49 a month — removes it.
02Are there ads while I am scoring?
No. The scoring screen carries no ad in either plan. Mis-tapping a ball because an ad loaded under your thumb is how a scorebook goes wrong, so that screen is left alone.
03What happens if I stop paying?
The app carries on. You lose nothing but the quiet — ads come back on the card and share screens, and your matches, squads and history stay exactly where they were.
04Is there a free trial, or a discount for clubs?
The free plan is the trial, and it never expires. Club and league pricing is not built yet; if you need to cover a dozen scorers, open an issue and say so — that is how it gets prioritised.
05Do I need a signal to score?
Not ball by ball, any more. Every tap is saved on the phone first and shown on the screen straight away, and the queue drains to the server when there is signal — so a dropped connection at the ground does not stop scoring. What still needs a signal is starting a match, opening an innings and making corrections, and the live link for spectators only moves when the queue can send. Sync catches up in order, and the server refuses anything that would double-count a ball.
06Can two people score the same match?
One device owns the ball log at a time, which is deliberate — two scorers entering the same over is how you get a wrong total. You can pick the match up on another device signed in to the same account. Handing it to a different person is not built yet; a match belongs to whoever created it.
07How fast is it really?
One tap for a normal ball. Two if it is an extra: arm the modifier, tap the runs. Three for a wicket, because a dismissal needs its type and the fielder. That is the whole interaction.
08What if I get a ball wrong?
Undo, on screen, always. Every number in the app is derived from the ball log rather than stored separately, so removing a ball corrects the card, the commentary, the bowler’s figures and the live feed at once.
09Which formats can I score?
Limited-overs cricket of any innings length — T20, ODI, T10, and the 13 overs you actually agreed at the toss. That is one format parameterised by length rather than a list, which is why a club game scores exactly like a T20 and the console never changes. Test and multi-day, the Hundred and box cricket are not supported: each is a different scoring model rather than a different length, so they are on the roadmap rather than in the app.
10Can people follow without installing anything?
Yes. Each match has a link that opens in a browser and updates ball by ball. Send it to the club group once and everyone — parents, the next batter, a coach at another ground — is on the same over as you.
11Can I get my data out?
Every match exports as a scorecard file and as a share image. Because everything is derived from the ball log, the export is the whole match, not a summary.
12What does open source mean in practice?
The app source is public under AGPL-3.0. You can read exactly how a wide is charged, open an issue when your league scores it differently, send a fix, or run the whole thing on your own host for your club. Nothing is behind a licence key.
Scoring questions belong in the issue tracker — they usually turn into a fix. Billing questions go to email.
