# Worship Backing Tracks vs ChoirMate

The clearest difference is monetization model: ChoirMate at freemium against Worship Backing Tracks's subscription. ChoirMate also leads on review sentiment (98% vs 74%). Worship Backing Tracks's advantage is ratings volume (5.1K vs 192) and chart position (#110 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Worship Backing Tracks sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month and ChoirMate sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Worship Backing Tracks against 4.8 for ChoirMate. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Worship Backing Tracks has 5.1K ratings behind it against 192, so its average is the more settled of the two.
