# Epson iProjection vs Pencil Box

The clearest difference is rating: Pencil Box at 5.0 against Epson iProjection's 4.3. Pencil Box also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Epson iProjection's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 1) and review sentiment (20% vs 0%). 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.

Pencil Box holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epson iProjection has 3.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Epson iProjection's written reviews are positive against 0% of Pencil Box's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Epson iProjection ships an update every 6 months, Pencil Box fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
