# Quotescapes vs Cryptogram

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Quotescapes at 84% against Cryptogram's 19%. Quotescapes also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 132). Cryptogram's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quotescapes sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Cryptogram sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Quotescapes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quotescapes has 6.4K ratings behind it against 132, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Quotescapes's written reviews are positive against 19% of Cryptogram's.

Quotescapes ships an update every 4 months, Cryptogram every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
