# 弹琴吧 vs 鼓谱帮

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 鼓谱帮 at none against 弹琴吧's 32. 鼓谱帮 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). 弹琴吧's advantage is ratings volume (264 vs 1) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 弹琴吧 sells 27 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. 鼓谱帮 asks for nothing beyond the download.

鼓谱帮 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6.
