# Vizzywig vs Screen Recorder

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Recorder at 4.4 against Vizzywig's 3.7. Screen Recorder also leads on ratings volume (3.1K vs 49) and device support (4 vs 2). Vizzywig's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (48% vs 32%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vizzywig sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Screen Recorder sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screen Recorder holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Recorder has 3.1K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Vizzywig's written reviews are positive against 32% of Screen Recorder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Vizzywig ships an update every 5 weeks, Screen Recorder every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
