Both are free to download. Timber Squad sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Scratch Inc. sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scratch Inc. holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scratch Inc. has 1.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Timber Squad's written reviews are positive against 93% of Scratch Inc.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timber Squad ships an update every 3 weeks, Scratch Inc. every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
