# Screenable vs ScreenEarn

The clearest difference is monetization model: Screenable at free with in-app purchases against ScreenEarn's subscription. Screenable also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (37 vs 4). ScreenEarn's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screenable sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and ScreenEarn sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Screenable against 5.0 for ScreenEarn. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screenable has 37 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Screenable ships an update fortnightly, ScreenEarn every 7 months. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
