What does it cost?
PlayScrab is not "free". There are no adverts. Remember, if you're not paying for a service, you're the product, not the customer.
You can play up to ten friendly games as a free trial.
Once you have completed three friendlies, you can join one of our leagues if you wish. Everyone joins in the bottom division.
League games are free until you get promoted out of the bottom division.
Once you run out of free friendly games or get promoted in your league, you need to subscribe to continue playing.
Subscriptions cost £5 a year but most players top this up with a £10-£20 donation. (The subs are kept low so no-one is excluded but we couldn't run without extra support.)
If you really want to support PlayScrab, please consider becoming a patron. Patrons donate £5+ a month or £50+ a year.
It's our patrons that make continual improvement and support for the app possible.
£5 a year is one-ninth of the cost of going ad-free with our major rival.
