# Scripting vs Termini

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scripting at 98% against Termini's 40%. Scripting also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.8) and ads (none vs shown). Termini's advantage is update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Scripting holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scripting has 136 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 98% of Scripting's written reviews are positive against 40% of Termini's.

Scripting ships an update fortnightly, Termini daily. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
