Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Scriptic at fortnightly against Prime Suspect's every 3 months. Scriptic also leads on ratings volume (790 vs 14). Prime Suspect's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 57%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
