Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DanceRail3 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 918 and 349 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of DanceRail3's written reviews are positive against 63% of IOSU!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
