Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: spiritlock at none against Scroll Scripture's shown. spiritlock also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Scroll Scripture's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. spiritlock sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Scroll Scripture sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scroll Scripture holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scroll Scripture has 1.1K ratings behind it against 115, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of spiritlock's written reviews are positive against 60% of Scroll Scripture's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

spiritlock ships an update fortnightly, Scroll Scripture every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
