VERDICT

Should I use Keepthescore?

Free Online Scoreboard - Create in Seconds - keepthescore.com

Worth it. Buy it if you stream games or run small sports/trivia and need a scoreboard overlay in seconds; the free tier likely covers you. Skip it if you need pro broadcast graphics, SLAs, or a proven vendor — it's a tiny bootstrapped product.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 12+ public sources; independent review depth is thin (0 G2 reviews), so confidence is medium.
