# ScreenshotApp vs Screen Recorder

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Recorder at 4.5 against ScreenshotApp's 2.8. Screen Recorder also leads on ratings volume (980 vs 12) and review sentiment (37% vs 20%). ScreenshotApp's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScreenshotApp sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Screen Recorder sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screen Recorder holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8.
