# MyScreen vs Live Wallpapers

The clearest difference is ratings volume: MyScreen at 310K against Live Wallpapers's 2.4K. MyScreen also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 35%) and chart position (#75 vs unranked). Live Wallpapers's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyScreen sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Live Wallpapers sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 4.4 for Live Wallpapers. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyScreen has 310K ratings behind it against 2.4K, 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 35% of Live Wallpapers's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
