# XScape vs 13

The clearest difference is review sentiment: XScape at 100% against 13's 17%. XScape also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 11 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.6). 13's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (53 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. XScape sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 13 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

13 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 13 has 53 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of XScape's written reviews are positive against 17% of 13's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

XScape ships an update every 9 days, 13 every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
