# Linus vs ScriptReady

The clearest difference is rating: ScriptReady at 5.0 against Linus's 4.3. ScriptReady also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%). Linus's advantage is ratings volume (202 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Linus sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and ScriptReady sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScriptReady holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linus has 202 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Linus's written reviews are positive against 100% of ScriptReady's.

Linus ships an update every 5 days, ScriptReady every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
