# Readrrr vs ScrollScholar

The clearest difference is monetization model: ScrollScholar at free with in-app purchases against Readrrr's subscription. ScrollScholar also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Readrrr's advantage is ratings volume (113 vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Readrrr sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and ScrollScholar sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScrollScholar holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Readrrr has 113 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Readrrr ships an update fortnightly, ScrollScholar every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
