Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Scribbles Now at none against Pancak3r's shown. Scribbles Now also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Pancak3r's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pancak3r sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month and Scribbles Now sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.39 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Scribbles Now holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pancak3r has 19 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Pancak3r ships an update every 3 months, Scribbles Now fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
