# Live Transcribe vs SomosBeds

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SomosBeds at 100% against Live Transcribe's 57%. SomosBeds also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 20) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Live Transcribe's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (8K vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Live Transcribe sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. SomosBeds asks for nothing beyond the download.

Live Transcribe holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Live Transcribe has 8K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Live Transcribe's written reviews are positive against 100% of SomosBeds's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
