# Wallet Creator vs Screens 5

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) and review sentiment (57% vs 49%). Screens 5's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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 — 348 and 597 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. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
