# RedPill vs Scroll

The clearest difference is rating: RedPill at 5.0 against Scroll's 4.0. RedPill also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). Scroll's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RedPill sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Scroll sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RedPill holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RedPill has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

RedPill ships an update every 5 days, Scroll every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
