# Horror Sci vs Spooky Hours

The clearest difference is monetization model: Horror Sci at free with in-app purchases against Spooky Hours's subscription. Spooky Hours's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 18 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Horror Sci sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Spooky Hours sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Horror Sci against 4.9 for Spooky Hours. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spooky Hours has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Horror Sci ships an update every 18 months, Spooky Hours every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
