# ScribbleX vs Hamster Inn

The clearest difference is rating: Hamster Inn at 4.8 against ScribbleX's 4.2. Hamster Inn also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 50%) and ratings volume (6.6K vs 6). ScribbleX's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScribbleX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hamster Inn sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hamster Inn holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hamster Inn has 6.6K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of ScribbleX's written reviews are positive against 90% of Hamster Inn's.

ScribbleX ships an update every 3 weeks, Hamster Inn every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
