# ScreenZen vs Resolutions

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ScreenZen at 52K against Resolutions's 7. ScreenZen also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#154 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScreenZen sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Resolutions sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for ScreenZen against 5.0 for Resolutions. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScreenZen has 52K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ScreenZen ships an update every 3 weeks, Resolutions every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
