Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Dungeon Scroll at Free against Scriver's $1.99. Dungeon Scroll also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Scriver's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 35 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Dungeon Scroll is free to download; Scriver costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Scriver holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scriver has 49 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Dungeon Scroll's written reviews are positive against 73% of Scriver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dungeon Scroll ships an update every 35 months, Scriver every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
