# Screen Light Color vs Color Screen

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Light Color at 4.5 against Color Screen's 1.0. Screen Light Color also leads on ratings volume (496 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Color Screen's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Light Color sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Color Screen sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screen Light Color holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Light Color has 496 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Screen Light Color's written reviews are positive against 100% of Color Screen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Screen Light Color ships an update every 5 weeks, Color Screen every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
