# Bigloop vs Scribly

The clearest difference is rating: Scribly at 5.0 against Bigloop's 4.2. Scribly also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). Bigloop's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bigloop sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Scribly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scribly holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bigloop has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Bigloop ships an update every 2 days, Scribly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and August 1, 2026 respectively.
