# Scratch Inc. vs Fortune Mill

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scratch Inc. at 93% against Fortune Mill's 34%. Scratch Inc. also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 1). Fortune Mill's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scratch Inc. sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Fortune Mill sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
