# MyScreen vs Watch Faces

The clearest difference is monetization model: MyScreen at free with in-app purchases against Watch Faces's subscription. MyScreen also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 25%) and ratings volume (310K vs 573). Watch Faces's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyScreen sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Watch Faces sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for MyScreen against 4.6 for Watch Faces. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyScreen has 310K ratings behind it against 573, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of MyScreen's written reviews are positive against 25% of Watch Faces's.
