Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Scratch Inc. at free with in-app purchases against Host Royale's subscription. Scratch Inc. also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 4). Host Royale's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 days) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Host Royale sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Scratch Inc. sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Host Royale holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scratch Inc. has 1.9K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Host Royale ships an update daily, Scratch Inc. every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
