# Word Scramble™ vs WordHub

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Word Scramble™ at none against WordHub's 13. Word Scramble™ also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 99). WordHub's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WordHub sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Word Scramble™ asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.4 for Word Scramble™ against 3.4 for WordHub. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Scramble™ has 2K ratings behind it against 99, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 25% of Word Scramble™'s written reviews are positive against 49% of WordHub's.

Word Scramble™ ships an update every 4 months, WordHub fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
