Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Outplayer ships an update every 3 weeks, TslaScreen weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
