# Piano Chords Compass vs apeMatrix

The clearest difference is rating: apeMatrix at 4.7 against Piano Chords Compass's 2.3. apeMatrix also leads on ratings volume (84 vs 3). Piano Chords Compass's advantage is price ($5.99 vs $14.99) and device support (4 vs 2). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Piano Chords Compass costs $5.99 and apeMatrix $14.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

apeMatrix holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: apeMatrix has 84 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Piano Chords Compass's written reviews are positive against 73% of apeMatrix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
