Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HatchXR at 100% against Scratch Tutorial's 35%. HatchXR also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Scratch Tutorial's advantage is ratings volume (4.6K vs 2) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support 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
Both are free to download. Scratch Tutorial sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. HatchXR asks for nothing beyond the download.
Scratch Tutorial holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scratch Tutorial has 4.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of HatchXR's written reviews are positive against 35% of Scratch Tutorial's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HatchXR ships an update monthly, Scratch Tutorial every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
