# GLICODE™ vs Scratch Tutorial

The clearest difference is rating: Scratch Tutorial at 4.2 against GLICODE™'s 3.0. Scratch Tutorial also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 66). GLICODE™'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scratch Tutorial sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. GLICODE™ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Scratch Tutorial holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scratch Tutorial has 4.6K ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 32% of GLICODE™'s written reviews are positive against 34% of Scratch Tutorial's.

GLICODE™ ships an update every 4 months, Scratch Tutorial every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
