# Userscripts vs RenPyLinter

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Userscripts at none against RenPyLinter's 4. Userscripts also leads on ratings volume (190 vs 6) and chart position (#25 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RenPyLinter sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Userscripts asks for nothing beyond the download.

RenPyLinter holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Userscripts has 190 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Userscripts's written reviews are positive against 76% of RenPyLinter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Userscripts ships an update monthly, RenPyLinter fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
