Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Scratch Inc. at none against Splice Dinos's shown. Scratch Inc. also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 5) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 weeks). Splice Dinos's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splice Dinos 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

Splice Dinos 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 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Splice Dinos'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

Splice Dinos ships an update every 4 weeks, Scratch Inc. every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
