# Synesthesia vs Xylophone Lite

The clearest difference is rating: Xylophone Lite at 4.4 against Synesthesia's 2.3. Xylophone Lite also leads on ratings volume (333 vs 16). Synesthesia's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 25%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Xylophone Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xylophone Lite has 333 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Synesthesia's written reviews are positive against 25% of Xylophone Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
