Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
NBCU Screeners holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WBFYC Screeners has 52 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of NBCU Screeners's written reviews are positive against 17% of WBFYC Screeners's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NBCU Screeners ships an update every 2 months, WBFYC Screeners every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
