# Brainrot vs ScrollToll

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ScrollToll at 72% against Brainrot's 18%. ScrollToll also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Brainrot's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 882). 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 ScrollToll sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScrollToll holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brainrot has 23K ratings behind it against 882, 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 72% of ScrollToll's.

Brainrot ships an update every 6 days, ScrollToll every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
