# b.stage vs iTranscreen

The clearest difference is rating: iTranscreen at 4.4 against b.stage's 3.4. iTranscreen also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 39%) and ads (none vs shown). b.stage's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. b.stage sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $4.00 per month and iTranscreen sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iTranscreen holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTranscreen has 249 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of b.stage's written reviews are positive against 75% of iTranscreen's.

b.stage ships an update every 3 weeks, iTranscreen fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
