Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Scoir holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Things Fall Apart References's written reviews are positive against 24% of Scoir's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Things Fall Apart References ships an update every 2 months, Scoir every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
