# Chapters vs Scripts

The clearest difference is rating: Scripts at 4.8 against Chapters's 4.4. Chapters's advantage is chart position (#29 vs unranked) and ratings volume (116K vs 23K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chapters sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Scripts sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scripts holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chapters has 116K ratings behind it against 23K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Chapters's written reviews are positive against 62% of Scripts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
