# Screen Recorder vs Screen Recorder ®

Screen Recorder and Screen Recorder ® both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Screen Recorder ®'s written reviews are positive against 34% of Screen Recorder's. Screen Recorder ® also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Screen Recorder's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (111K vs 2.9K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Recorder sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Screen Recorder ® sells 5 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 Screen Recorder against 4.6 for Screen Recorder ®. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Recorder has 111K ratings behind it against 2.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 34% of Screen Recorder's written reviews are positive against 80% of Screen Recorder ®'s.

Screen Recorder ships an update every 2 months, Screen Recorder ® weekly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
