Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Screen Light App at 4.5 against Color Screen's 1.0. Screen Light App also leads on ratings volume (31 vs 1). Color Screen's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Screen Light App sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Color Screen sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Screen Light App holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Light App has 31 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Screen Light App's written reviews are positive against 100% of Color Screen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Screen Light App ships an update every 4 months, Color Screen every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
