Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Plumb's | Standards holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plumb's | Standards has 3.3K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Plumb's | Standards's written reviews are positive against 89% of ScribbleVet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Plumb's | Standards ships an update every 3 weeks, ScribbleVet every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
