# S Camera vs Screen Recorder

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Recorder at 4.5 against S Camera's 2.5. Screen Recorder also leads on ratings volume (111K vs 19) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). S Camera's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. S Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Screen Recorder sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screen Recorder holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Recorder has 111K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of S Camera's written reviews are positive against 33% of Screen Recorder's.

S Camera ships an update every 7 months, Screen Recorder every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
