Imagine a comic book without borders or pages. Scrollon offers original illustrated content presented as a seemingly unending image. Stories are not merely read, they are traveled. The image is advanced by scrolling with your finger, or by tapping the screen. Unlike comics that are repurposed from other mediums, each Scrollon story is crafted for digital viewing. This means artwork never needs to be cropped to make text readable, layouts are not reformatted, and the creators’ vision is never compromised. Scrollon provides a uniquely intuitive way to experience visual storytelling on the iPad. This app allows you to sample Scrollon for free. It is easy to navigate, has search functions, automatic bookmarking, and features an expanding library of fantasy, science fiction, superhero, steampunk and other genres. Previews are provided for each story installment available through the In-App Store. Furthermore, your collection is backed up on your Scrollon.Com account, so it can be retrieved if you lose or replace your device. Scrollon® is a patent pending narrative art form. New content is added each month. Be part of this revolution in digital comics!

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Komic at every 2 weeks against Scrollon's every 7 months. Komic also leads on ratings volume (48 vs 4). Scrollon's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (71% vs 60%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Scrollon sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Komic sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Scrollon holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Komic has 48 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Scrollon's written reviews are positive against 60% of Komic's.
Scrollon ships an update every 7 months, Komic every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
