# Cloak vs ScrollMine

The clearest difference is rating: ScrollMine at 5.0 against Cloak's 4.8. Cloak's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cloak sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ScrollMine sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScrollMine holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cloak has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 27, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
