Screen Label lets you add a message to your Lock Screen or Home Screen, quickly and simply. You might want to show some contact details, then if you lose your phone your chances of getting it back go way up. Or a company name, or department name... anything. On iOS 16 and later you can use the Lock Screen widget to add a short message visible on all Lock Screens. For earlier iOS versions you can import any photo in your camera roll, then style and position your message label on top of it. This is saved back to the camera roll as a new picture, and then you can use it as Wallpaper. You can use a plain background rather than a photo if you prefer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: notifi at every 2 weeks against Screen Label's every 4 months. Screen Label's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (93 vs 9). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Screen Label holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Label has 93 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Screen Label's written reviews are positive against 83% of notifi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Screen Label ships an update every 4 months, notifi every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
