# Scriptation vs Scriptigo Pro

The clearest difference is price: Scriptation at Free against Scriptigo Pro's $9.99. Scriptation also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 7). Scriptigo Pro's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Scriptation is free to download; Scriptigo Pro costs $9.99 up front. Scriptation sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Scriptigo Pro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scriptation holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scriptation has 3.6K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Scriptation's written reviews are positive against 100% of Scriptigo Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Scriptation ships an update fortnightly, Scriptigo Pro every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
