# Scroll Limit vs one hour

The clearest difference is rating: Scroll Limit at 5.0 against one hour's 4.3. Scroll Limit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). one hour's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scroll Limit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and one hour sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scroll Limit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: one hour has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Scroll Limit ships an update every 3 weeks, one hour every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
