Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Super To at Free against Penned's $4.99. Super To also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (73% vs 50%). Penned's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). On rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Super To is free to download; Penned costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Penned holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super To has 940 ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Super To's written reviews are positive against 50% of Penned's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Super To ships an update every 2 weeks, Penned every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
