# Scrolloc vs Tether

The clearest difference is ads: Tether at none against Scrolloc's shown. Tether also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scrolloc sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Tether sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Scrolloc against 5.0 for Tether. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tether has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
