# Everywriter vs ScriptBuilder

The clearest difference is rating: ScriptBuilder at 4.6 against Everywriter's 3.2. Everywriter's advantage is ratings volume (146 vs 7) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Everywriter sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 6 months and ScriptBuilder sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScriptBuilder holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Everywriter has 146 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Everywriter's written reviews are positive against 36% of ScriptBuilder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Everywriter ships an update every 10 days, ScriptBuilder every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
