# No Scroll vs Jared

The clearest difference is rating: Jared at 5.0 against No Scroll's 4.5. No Scroll's advantage is ratings volume (703 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. No Scroll sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Jared sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Jared holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: No Scroll has 703 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
