# Screen Recorder vs SR

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SR at 100% against Screen Recorder's 30%. SR also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). Screen Recorder's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (33K vs 53). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Recorder sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and SR sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Recorder has 33K ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of Screen Recorder's written reviews are positive against 100% of SR's.

Screen Recorder ships an update every 2 weeks, SR every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
