# Cretapedia vs Science Libs

The clearest difference is rating: Science Libs at 5.0 against Cretapedia's 4.6. Science Libs also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Cretapedia's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cretapedia sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month and Science Libs sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Science Libs holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cretapedia has 1.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Cretapedia ships an update monthly, Science Libs every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
