# Quran Unlock vs ScrollSteps

The clearest difference is monetization model: Quran Unlock at free with in-app purchases against ScrollSteps's subscription. Quran Unlock also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quran Unlock sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and ScrollSteps sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Quran Unlock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quran Unlock has 224 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Quran Unlock ships an update weekly, ScrollSteps monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
