In 2026, 'RT: Smooth Scroll To Top' and 'Scrollio: Infinite Scroll' offer distinct approaches to improving user navigation on Shopify stores. 'RT: Smooth Scroll To Top' addresses the challenge of lengthy pages by providing a one-click button that returns users to the top of the page, particularly valuable for themes lacking this functionality. It focuses on providing a 'back-to-top' functionality. Key selling points include easy installation and extensive customization options for the button's appearance and behavior. It emphasizes improved user experience on long pages, thus potentially increasing conversions. It adds a scroll progress bar, which Scrollio does not. Its customization is primarily button-focused. It seems to assume that the merchant's default functionality doesn't exist, or is not visually appealing. 'Scrollio: Infinite Scroll', on the other hand, automates the loading of products as users scroll, creating a seamless browsing experience. This is particularly relevant for collection pages and search results where large numbers of products are displayed. The 'Load More' button option provides an alternative to purely infinite scrolling and both this button and the scroll behaviour are customizable. Scrollio strives for improved user engagement through minimized user actions and is clearly optimized for product-heavy sites. It will appeal to merchants that want less reliance on pagination. The two apps tackle very different navigation challenges and are really mutually exclusive, despite being in the same Shopify category.

Choosing between 'RT: Smooth Scroll To Top' and 'Scrollio: Infinite Scroll' depends heavily on the specific needs of your Shopify store. If your store contains long pages of content and lacks a native 'scroll to top' feature, 'RT: Smooth Scroll To Top' is the clear choice. Its focus is on streamlining navigation on individual, content-rich pages. It will be most helpful to shops where a 'back to top' function is lacking, or is cumbersome.
However, if your primary goal is to improve the browsing experience within collection or search pages with numerous products, 'Scrollio: Infinite Scroll' is the better option. It reduces the need for pagination and keeps customers engaged as they explore your product catalog. A higher rating does not automatically make RT: Smooth Scroll To Top the better app; the choice should reflect which addresses a pressing need for your store.
Both apps claim to have a simple installation process. 'RT: Smooth Scroll To Top' highlights a 'one-click installation', while 'Scrollio: Infinite Scroll' states 'Simple install and setup'.
Yes, both apps offer customization options. 'RT: Smooth Scroll To Top' allows for full customization of the scroll-to-top button's color, shape, size, and position. 'Scrollio: Infinite Scroll' lets you customize the 'Load More' button and animation, if you use that approach instead of purely infinite scrolling.
While not explicitly stated, both apps likely work on mobile devices, given the importance of mobile browsing in 2026. The descriptions do not include any exclusions for mobile.
Neither app directly addresses SEO, but 'Scrollio: Infinite Scroll' *could* impact SEO positively or negatively, depending on implementation. While infinite scrolling can improve user engagement, it can also make it harder for search engine crawlers to index all your products if not implemented correctly. RT: Smooth Scroll To Top has a neutral impact on SEO.
