Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: The Scruffs at every 2 months against Unroll Me®'s every 8 months. The Scruffs also leads on iOS requirement (5.0 vs 13.0). Unroll Me®'s advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 106). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Scruffs sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Unroll Me® sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Unroll Me® holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unroll Me® has 1.6K ratings behind it against 106, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of The Scruffs's written reviews are positive against 72% of Unroll Me®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

The Scruffs ships an update every 2 months, Unroll Me® every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
