ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ARRI LiCo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Story Plotter has 193 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Story Plotter's written reviews are positive against 0% of ARRI LiCo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Story Plotter ships an update every 2 weeks, ARRI LiCo every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
