# PushPal vs Scrollhole

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scrollhole at 100% against PushPal's 50%. Scrollhole also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 weeks). PushPal's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (32 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PushPal sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Scrollhole sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushPal has 32 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
