Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Troma NOW! at 5.0 against Screamify's 3.8. Troma NOW! also leads on review sentiment (97% vs 60%) and ads (none vs shown). Screamify's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
