# Comprehend vs ScreenIQ

The clearest difference is rating: ScreenIQ at 5.0 against Comprehend's 4.5. ScreenIQ also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Comprehend's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Comprehend sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and ScreenIQ sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScreenIQ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Comprehend has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Comprehend ships an update every 6 weeks, ScreenIQ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
