# Split Screen vs DuoShot

The clearest difference is ads: DuoShot at none against Split Screen's shown. DuoShot also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Split Screen's advantage is ratings volume (4.6K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Split Screen sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and DuoShot sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DuoShot holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Split Screen has 4.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Split Screen ships an update every 12 months, DuoShot every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
