# RepScroll vs PushPal

The clearest difference is monetization model: PushPal at free with in-app purchases against RepScroll's subscription. PushPal also leads on ads (none vs shown). RepScroll's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RepScroll sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and PushPal sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RepScroll has 1.4K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two.
