FEATURES: Interactive Scratch-Offs: Experience the satisfying feeling of scratching away the foil to reveal beautiful custom movie posters. Curated 52-Movie Packs: Tackle pre-built challenges designed to expand your cinematic horizons. New packs are added frequently! Earn Exclusive Badges: Complete milestones (like scratching off your first 10, 25, or 50 movies in a pack) to earn unique badges for your Trophy Room. No Sign-Up Required: Your progress is saved securely right on your device. Just open the app and start scratching—no accounts or passwords needed. Movie Trivia: Tap on any poster to see the release year, director, and a summary to help you pick your next weekend watch. Whether you're looking to broaden your film knowledge, keep track of your Halloween horror binges, or just enjoy the simple pleasure of completing a checklist, ScratchList turns movie watching into a highly rewarding game. What movie will you scratch off next?

Verdict
ScratchList and Consu are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
