Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Plotwist at 3.6 against PlotTwist's 3.0. Plotwist also leads on ratings volume (16 vs 2). PlotTwist's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PlotTwist sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Plotwist sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Plotwist holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plotwist has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of PlotTwist's written reviews are positive against 44% of Plotwist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PlotTwist ships an update every 3 weeks, Plotwist every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
