# Dropout vs Soundbooth App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dropout at 99% against Soundbooth App's 32%. Dropout also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (77K vs 195). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dropout sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Soundbooth App sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dropout holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dropout has 77K ratings behind it against 195, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 99% of Dropout's written reviews are positive against 32% of Soundbooth App's.

Dropout ships an update every 2 months, Soundbooth App monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
