# Solfa vs Do

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Solfa at none against Do's 4. Solfa also leads on ratings volume (809 vs 34). Do's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Do sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. Solfa asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Solfa against 4.7 for Do. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solfa has 809 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 49% of Solfa's written reviews are positive against 57% of Do's.

Solfa ships an update every 3 weeks, Do every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
