# MIDISynth Control vs Gliss

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gliss at none against MIDISynth Control's 11. MIDISynth Control's advantage is rating (3.4 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (12 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MIDISynth Control sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Gliss asks for nothing beyond the download.

MIDISynth Control holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of MIDISynth Control's written reviews are positive against 67% of Gliss's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
