# Blackjack vs Scratch Inc.

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Scratch Inc. at 1.9K against Blackjack's 15. Scratch Inc. also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (93% vs 80%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blackjack sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Scratch Inc. sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Blackjack against 4.7 for Scratch Inc.. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scratch Inc. has 1.9K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Blackjack's written reviews are positive against 93% of Scratch Inc.'s.

Blackjack ships an update every 2 weeks, Scratch Inc. every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
