# Screen Recorder vs Screen Recorder · Video Editor

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Recorder at 4.4 against Screen Recorder · Video Editor's 3.8. Screen Recorder also leads on ratings volume (3.1K vs 4) and device support (4 vs 2). Screen Recorder · Video Editor's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (50% vs 32%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Recorder sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days and Screen Recorder · Video Editor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screen Recorder holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Recorder has 3.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Screen Recorder's written reviews are positive against 50% of Screen Recorder · Video Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Screen Recorder ships an update every 3 weeks, Screen Recorder · Video Editor fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
