# Google Chrome vs Split screen Player

The clearest difference is rating: Google Chrome at 4.7 against Split screen Player's 3.7. Google Chrome also leads on ratings volume (3.9M vs 50) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). Split screen Player's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google Chrome sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Split screen Player sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Google Chrome holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 3.9M ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Google Chrome's written reviews are positive against 64% of Split screen Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Google Chrome ships an update weekly, Split screen Player fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
