# ScrollMine vs LOCKR

LOCKR's advantage is ratings volume (327 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScrollMine sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and LOCKR sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScrollMine ships an update weekly, LOCKR every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
