# LED Marquee vs Scrolling Text

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scrolling Text at 86% against LED Marquee's 14%. Scrolling Text also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). LED Marquee's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 40). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LED Marquee sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Scrolling Text sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scrolling Text holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LED Marquee has 1.3K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two.
