Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Live Screen 27 at 4.6 against StandBy's 3.3. Live Screen 27 also leads on ratings volume (6.3K vs 44) and chart position (#189 vs unranked). StandBy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (60% vs 33%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Live Screen 27 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and StandBy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Live Screen 27 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Live Screen 27 has 6.3K ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Live Screen 27's written reviews are positive against 60% of StandBy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Live Screen 27 ships an update every 6 weeks, StandBy every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
