# Scriptmate vs Line Reader

The clearest difference is rating: Scriptmate at 4.9 against Line Reader's 4.0. Scriptmate also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). Line Reader's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scriptmate sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Line Reader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scriptmate holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Scriptmate's written reviews are positive against 100% of Line Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Scriptmate ships an update every 2 days, Line Reader every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
