# Beats Live! vs Drum Pad Pro Loop & Beat Maker

The clearest difference is price: Drum Pad Pro Loop & Beat Maker at Free against Beats Live!'s $3.99. Drum Pad Pro Loop & Beat Maker also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and ratings volume (186 vs 3). Beats Live!'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 28). On device support there is nothing between them.

Drum Pad Pro Loop & Beat Maker is free to download; Beats Live! costs $3.99 up front. Drum Pad Pro Loop & Beat Maker sells 28 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Beats Live! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Beats Live! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drum Pad Pro Loop & Beat Maker has 186 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Beats Live!'s written reviews are positive against 80% of Drum Pad Pro Loop & Beat Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
