# ScreenKiller vs The Prank App

The clearest difference is rating: The Prank App at 4.7 against ScreenKiller's 1.0. The Prank App also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). ScreenKiller's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScreenKiller sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and The Prank App sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Prank App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Prank App has 10K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ScreenKiller ships an update every 3 months, The Prank App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
