Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Scratch Tutorial at Free against Nekomimi's $1.99. Scratch Tutorial also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 5 months). Nekomimi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (58% vs 35%). On ads there is nothing between them.

Scratch Tutorial is free to download; Nekomimi costs $1.99 up front. Scratch Tutorial sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Nekomimi asks for nothing beyond the download.
Scratch Tutorial holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scratch Tutorial has 4.6K ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Nekomimi'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.
Nekomimi ships an update every 5 months, Scratch Tutorial every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
