Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Audio Culture sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Uffizi Gallery sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Audio Culture holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Uffizi Gallery has 73 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Audio Culture's written reviews are positive against 43% of Uffizi Gallery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Audio Culture ships an update every 3 weeks, Uffizi Gallery monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
