# MakePaper vs Scout

The clearest difference is update cadence: MakePaper at weekly against Scout's every 3 months. MakePaper also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MakePaper sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Scout sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MakePaper has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

MakePaper ships an update weekly, Scout every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
