# N vs ScreenConnect Legacy

The clearest difference is rating: ScreenConnect Legacy at 2.0 against N's 1.1. ScreenConnect Legacy also leads on iOS requirement (5.2 vs 13.0). N's advantage is review sentiment (21% vs 0%) and ratings volume (34 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ScreenConnect Legacy holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: N has 34 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of N's written reviews are positive against 0% of ScreenConnect Legacy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
