# Beeper vs DumbScroller

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Beeper at 1.1K against DumbScroller's 4. DumbScroller's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beeper sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and DumbScroller sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DumbScroller holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beeper has 1.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
