# Duet Display vs Split View Multitasking Screen

The clearest difference is ads: Split View Multitasking Screen at none against Duet Display's shown. Split View Multitasking Screen also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Duet Display's advantage is ratings volume (49K vs 673) and review sentiment (45% vs 24%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Duet Display sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Split View Multitasking Screen sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
