Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scrolly at 56% against BackCheck's 0%. Scrolly also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (129 vs 2). BackCheck's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 8 days) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Scrolly sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and BackCheck sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BackCheck holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scrolly has 129 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Scrolly's written reviews are positive against 0% of BackCheck's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Scrolly ships an update every 8 days, BackCheck daily. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
