Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Outplayer at 87% against TslaScreen's 40%. Outplayer also leads on ratings volume (514 vs 1). TslaScreen's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Outplayer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TslaScreen sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TslaScreen holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outplayer has 514 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Outplayer's written reviews are positive against 40% of TslaScreen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Outplayer ships an update every 3 weeks, TslaScreen weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
