# Split screen Player vs Split Screen

The clearest difference is rating: Split Screen at 4.4 against Split screen Player's 3.7. Split Screen also leads on ratings volume (482 vs 50). Split screen Player's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (64% vs 43%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Split screen Player sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Split Screen sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Split Screen holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Split Screen has 482 ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Split screen Player's written reviews are positive against 43% of Split Screen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Split screen Player ships an update fortnightly, Split Screen every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
