Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Capsele at 50% against Scrolio's 0%. Scrolio's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.1) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Capsele sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Scrolio sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $39.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Scrolio holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Capsele's written reviews are positive against 0% of Scrolio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Capsele ships an update fortnightly, Scrolio every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
