# iScape vs Garden Planner+

The clearest difference is ratings volume: iScape at 29K against Garden Planner+'s 184. iScape also leads on chart position (#81 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). Garden Planner+'s advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 24%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iScape sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Garden Planner+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for iScape against 4.5 for Garden Planner+. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iScape has 29K ratings behind it against 184, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 24% of iScape's written reviews are positive against 33% of Garden Planner+'s.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
