# ScaryPrank vs Ghost detector

The clearest difference is rating: ScaryPrank at 4.5 against Ghost detector's 3.0. ScaryPrank also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 2). Ghost detector's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScaryPrank sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Ghost detector sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScaryPrank holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScaryPrank has 1.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of ScaryPrank's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ghost detector's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ScaryPrank ships an update every 5 months, Ghost detector weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
