# Split Screen View vs Dual Window

The clearest difference is rating: Split Screen View at 4.4 against Dual Window's 1.0. Split Screen View also leads on ratings volume (836 vs 3). Dual Window's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Split Screen View sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Dual Window asks for nothing beyond the download.

Split Screen View holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Split Screen View has 836 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Split Screen View's written reviews are positive against 25% of Dual Window's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Split Screen View ships an update every 6 weeks, Dual Window every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
