# Screen Recorder vs SR

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SR at 100% against Screen Recorder's 32%. SR also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Screen Recorder's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 53) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 14.0). 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 SR sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Recorder has 3.1K ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 32% of Screen Recorder's written reviews are positive against 100% of SR's.

Screen Recorder ships an update every 3 weeks, SR every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
