# Pasta Machine vs Scream The Game

The clearest difference is rating: Pasta Machine at 4.6 against Scream The Game's 3.7. Pasta Machine also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (8.7K vs 162). Scream The Game's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 16%) and in-app purchases (none vs 22). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pasta Machine sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Scream The Game asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pasta Machine holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pasta Machine has 8.7K ratings behind it against 162, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Pasta Machine's written reviews are positive against 54% of Scream The Game's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pasta Machine ships an update fortnightly, Scream The Game every 6 months. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
