Our Terms of Use & Privacy Policy: Apple Wallet only accepts a card signed with our certificate. The app therefore builds the card on your device and sends only checksums of the card's files, encrypted, to our server in Germany (HostEurope) – texts, barcodes and images never leave your device. Only as a fallback, for example on devices without Apple App Attest, is the card itself sent encrypted and deleted from the server straight after signing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Wallet Creator at free against Screens 5's free with in-app purchases. Wallet Creator also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Screens 5's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Wallet Creator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Screens 5 sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Screens 5 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 347 and 590 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Wallet Creator's written reviews are positive against 49% of Screens 5's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wallet Creator ships an update weekly, Screens 5 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
