Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Scriptigo Script Reader sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Stratword sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Stratword holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stratword has 97 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of Scriptigo Script Reader's written reviews are positive against 47% of Stratword's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
