# Roon vs Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Roon at 3.6 against Pro's 1.7. Roon also leads on ratings volume (556 vs 13). Pro's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Roon holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roon has 556 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Roon's written reviews are positive against 31% of Pro's.
