# PianoStream vs MOM

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MOM at none against PianoStream's 6. MOM also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (4 vs 2). PianoStream's advantage is ratings volume (216 vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PianoStream sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. MOM asks for nothing beyond the download.

MOM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PianoStream has 216 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of PianoStream's written reviews are positive against 100% of MOM's.

PianoStream ships an update every 2 months, MOM every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
