# Learn recorder vs Learn Clarinet

The clearest difference is ads: Learn recorder at none against Learn Clarinet's shown. Learn recorder also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 66%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Learn Clarinet's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (755 vs 63). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn recorder sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Learn Clarinet sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $17.49 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 — 4.4 for Learn recorder against 4.5 for Learn Clarinet. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn Clarinet has 755 ratings behind it against 63, so its average is the more settled of the two.
