# WHRB vs Met Opera

WHRB and Met Opera both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of WHRB's written reviews are positive against 57% of Met Opera's. WHRB also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Met Opera's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 110 months) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 22). On price, rating, 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for WHRB against 4.9 for Met Opera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Met Opera has 4.2K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of WHRB's written reviews are positive against 57% of Met Opera's.

WHRB ships an update every 110 months, Met Opera fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
