# Screambox vs Trilogy+

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Trilogy+ at 98% against Screambox's 17%. Trilogy+ also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). Screambox's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screambox sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Trilogy+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Trilogy+ holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 556 and 445 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of Screambox's written reviews are positive against 98% of Trilogy+'s.

Screambox ships an update every 5 weeks, Trilogy+ every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
