ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fortune Mill 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Scratch Inc.'s written reviews are positive against 34% of Fortune Mill's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Scratch Inc. ships an update every 4 days, Fortune Mill every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
