# Brainrot vs Scrolletics

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scrolletics at 100% against Brainrot's 18%. Scrolletics also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Brainrot's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 9). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brainrot sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Scrolletics sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scrolletics holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brainrot has 23K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of Brainrot's written reviews are positive against 100% of Scrolletics's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
