# Scripting vs CodeArt

The clearest difference is monetization model: CodeArt at free against Scripting's free with in-app purchases. CodeArt also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Scripting's advantage is ratings volume (84 vs 7) and chart position (#78 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scripting sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and CodeArt sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Scripting against 4.9 for CodeArt. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scripting has 84 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Scripting ships an update fortnightly, CodeArt every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
