Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Expo Go at 4.8 against Userscripts's 4.3. Expo Go also leads on ratings volume (7.3K vs 181) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Userscripts's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (78% vs 55%). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Expo Go holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Expo Go has 7.3K ratings behind it against 181, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Expo Go's written reviews are positive against 78% of Userscripts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Expo Go ships an update fortnightly, Userscripts monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
