# Animal Jam vs ScribbleX

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Animal Jam at 84K against ScribbleX's 6. Animal Jam also leads on chart position (#22 vs unranked). ScribbleX's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Animal Jam sells 26 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and ScribbleX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Animal Jam against 4.2 for ScribbleX. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Animal Jam has 84K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Animal Jam ships an update fortnightly, ScribbleX every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
