# Rafy vs ScriptReady

The clearest difference is rating: ScriptReady at 5.0 against Rafy's 4.0. ScriptReady also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Rafy's advantage is ratings volume (87 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rafy sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and ScriptReady sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScriptReady holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rafy has 87 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Rafy's written reviews are positive against 100% of ScriptReady's.

Rafy ships an update every 3 weeks, ScriptReady every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
