Keep The Score

Keep The Score is a browser-based platform for creating digital sports scoreboards and streaming overlays that update in real time. Built for sports event organisers, school athletics programs, livestream broadcasters, and community leagues, it replaces dedicated scoreboard hardware with a web app that runs on any device with a browser.

The product covers three core use cases. First, live scoreboards in a browser for in-venue displays, big screens, and LED walls — no installation, no console, just a URL. Second, streaming overlays that drop straight into OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop, vMix, and Elgato Stream Deck, giving broadcasters a clean scoreboard that updates instantly as the game progresses. Third, remote control from a phone, tablet, or laptop, so the scorekeeper isn’t tied to the display.

Sports covered include basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, tennis, ice hockey, baseball, water polo, futsal, handball, netball, and more, with templates that respect each sport’s rules — period structure, possession indicators, fouls, shot clocks, time-outs, server indicators.

Keep The Score uses a freemium model. The free tier lets anyone create a scoreboard in seconds without an account. Paid plans (Plus and Pro) unlock streaming overlays, custom branding, multiple concurrent scoreboards, longer match retention, and priority support. A REST API is available for programmatic control, useful for tournament organisers running multiple courts.

The company was founded on June 7, 2016 and is headquartered in Berlin, Germany. As an EU-based company, Keep The Score is GDPR compliant and processes data in Europe. The platform is operated by an indie team that ships continuously and typically responds to user requests within hours.

A note on scope: Keep The Score is sports-focused. Office leaderboards, sales contests, fundraising thermometers, classroom point trackers, and step challenges live on the sister product, Leaderboarded.com, which is built specifically for non-sports use cases. Listings that previously described Keep The Score as a generic leaderboard creator should now point to Leaderboarded for that purpose.

Pricing, documentation, and a live demo are available at keepthescore.com. The product has been used by tens of thousands of sports organisations worldwide, from Sunday-league clubs to broadcasters covering national tournaments. Setup takes under a minute and there is nothing to install.
