# Pick vs Scratch Odds

The clearest difference is ads: Scratch Odds at none against Pick's shown. Scratch Odds also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). Pick's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.5). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pick sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.00 per month and Scratch Odds sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Pick against 5.0 for Scratch Odds. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 3 respectively.

Pick ships an update every 2 months, Scratch Odds fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and August 29, 2026 respectively.
