# Rewind vs LessScroll

The clearest difference is monetization model: LessScroll at free against Rewind's freemium. Rewind's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rewind sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and LessScroll sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year. 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 Rewind against 5.0 for LessScroll. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rewind has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
