Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Daisy the Dinosaur at none against Scratch Tutorial's 1. Daisy the Dinosaur also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 35%). Scratch Tutorial's advantage is ratings volume (4.6K vs 20) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scratch Tutorial sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Daisy the Dinosaur asks for nothing beyond the download.
Scratch Tutorial holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scratch Tutorial has 4.6K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Daisy the Dinosaur's written reviews are positive against 35% of Scratch Tutorial's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Daisy the Dinosaur ships an update monthly, Scratch Tutorial every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 7, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
