Verdict

The call

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 (3.5K 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scriptation holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scriptation has 3.5K 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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Scriptation ships an update fortnightly, Scriptigo Pro every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 30, 2026 respectively.
