# Purity vs Scroll Block

The clearest difference is ads: Purity at none against Scroll Block's shown. Purity also leads on ratings volume (895 vs 52). Scroll Block's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Purity sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Scroll Block sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Purity against 4.6 for Scroll Block. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Purity has 895 ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of Purity's written reviews are positive against 80% of Scroll Block's.

Purity ships an update every 5 weeks, Scroll Block daily. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
