A CricHeroes alternative where your stats stay free
CricHeroes is one of India's best-known cricket scoring apps, and a lot of cricketers have their history there. If you're looking at alternatives, it's often because its deeper insights, player compare and face-off are listed as CricHeroes PRO features.
Criconic takes a different line: you played the match, so you should never pay to see how you did. Scoring, scorecards, career stats, wagon wheels, pitch maps and every stream overlay theme cost ₹0.

The analysis, without the subscription
Wagon wheel & pitch map
Every shot and every ball's length on the scorecard, filterable by batter, bowler and outcome.
Batter vs bowler
Pick one batter and one bowler to see just their contest in the match.
Full career stats
Averages, strike rates, 50s and 100s, economy, best figures, hauls and hat-tricks.
Every overlay theme
Broadcast-style scorebars for OBS, Streamlabs, vMix and PRISM, with your team colours.
Badges and rankings
Earn badges like Century Maker; rankings by district, state and country in the app.
Fair-play checks
Fake matches are reviewed and taken out of career stats, so your record means something.
When CricHeroes may still suit you better
CricHeroes has been around much longer. If your whole league already scores there, or you want years of past matches in one place, that history matters — Criconic can't import it, because our stats only come from matches scored on Criconic.
Criconic also doesn't have a side-by-side player compare yet. If that's the feature you need most, it's worth knowing before you switch.
If what you want is free analysis of your own game, every overlay theme at no cost, Test or single-wicket formats, or a box cricket wagon wheel, Criconic is built for exactly that.
Score your next match on both
The easiest way to compare is to score one match on Criconic and see the scorecard for yourself.

Switching questions
Can I import my CricHeroes stats into Criconic?
No. Criconic stats only come from matches scored on Criconic, so every number on a profile is one that was actually scored here. Your Criconic record starts with your first match.
Is it really free?
Yes for scoring and stats. Ball-by-ball scoring, live scorecards, commentary, career batting and bowling stats, badges, wagon wheels, pitch maps and stream overlays cost ₹0 — no subscription and no card to enter.
Do my teammates need to switch too?
Only the scorer needs an account to score. Players get their stats once they're in the team's squad, and fans can follow the live link without signing up.

No. You can create and score matches on criconic.com in any phone or laptop browser. The Criconic mobile app adds offline scoring, a DLS calculator, phone-contact import, local rankings and match alerts.
