Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 4K HD Live Wallpapers at none against ScreenView's shown. 4K HD Live Wallpapers also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (615 vs 31). ScreenView's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 30%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 4K HD Live Wallpapers sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and ScreenView sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

4K HD Live Wallpapers holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 4K HD Live Wallpapers has 615 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of 4K HD Live Wallpapers's written reviews are positive against 50% of ScreenView's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

4K HD Live Wallpapers ships an update monthly, ScreenView every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
