# List 'Em vs Scattergories

The clearest difference is rating: List 'Em at 2.9 against Scattergories's 1.0. List 'Em also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). Scattergories's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. List 'Em sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Scattergories sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

List 'Em holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: List 'Em has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

List 'Em ships an update every 4 months, Scattergories weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
