# Screen Recorder vs Screen Record

The clearest difference is ads: Screen Recorder at none against Screen Record's shown. Screen Recorder also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 54). Screen Record's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Recorder sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Screen Record sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screen Recorder holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Recorder has 11K ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Screen Recorder's written reviews are positive against 50% of Screen Record's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Screen Recorder ships an update monthly, Screen Record every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
