Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LessScroll at none against Nafsi's shown. LessScroll also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Nafsi's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nafsi sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days 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.
LessScroll holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nafsi has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Nafsi ships an update every 2 weeks, LessScroll every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
