# XeOS vs ScreenCommand

The clearest difference is review sentiment: XeOS at 60% against ScreenCommand's 0%. XeOS also leads on price (Free vs $4.99) and update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). ScreenCommand's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

XeOS is free to download; ScreenCommand costs $4.99 up front. XeOS sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. ScreenCommand asks for nothing beyond the download.

ScreenCommand holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XeOS has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of XeOS's written reviews are positive against 0% of ScreenCommand's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

XeOS ships an update daily, ScreenCommand fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
