# PianoStream vs ProRecord XI

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ProRecord XI at none against PianoStream's 6. ProRecord XI also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). PianoStream's advantage is ratings volume (217 vs 1) and chart position (#139 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

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

ProRecord XI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PianoStream has 217 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

PianoStream ships an update every 2 months, ProRecord XI every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
