# Untitled vs ScriptBuilder

The clearest difference is price: ScriptBuilder at Free against Untitled's $4.99. ScriptBuilder also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Untitled's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (142 vs 7). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ScriptBuilder is free to download; Untitled costs $4.99 up front. ScriptBuilder sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Untitled asks for nothing beyond the download.

ScriptBuilder holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Untitled has 142 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Untitled'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.

Untitled ships an update every 5 weeks, ScriptBuilder every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
