Here we report critical current density (J_c) in tetragonal FeS single crystals, similar to iron-based superconductors with much higher superconducting critical temperatures (T_c). The J_c is enhanced three times by 6% Se doping. We observe scaling of the normalized vortex pinning force as a function of reduced field at all temperatures. Vortex pinning in FeS and FeS_0.94Se_0.06 shows contribution of core-normal surfacelike pinning. Lastly, reduced temperature dependence of J_c indicates that dominant interaction of vortex cores and pinning centers is via scattering of charge carriers with reduced mean free path (δl), in contrast to K_xFe_2₋ySe₂ where spatial variations in T_c (δT_c) prevails.
