Both are free to download. Vizzywig sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Screen Recorder sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Screen Recorder holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Recorder has 33K 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 30% of Screen Recorder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vizzywig ships an update every 5 weeks, Screen Recorder every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
