# Rap Maker vs Gold Star Studio

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gold Star Studio at none against Rap Maker's 3. Gold Star Studio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Rap Maker's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rap Maker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days. Gold Star Studio asks for nothing beyond the download.

Gold Star Studio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rap Maker has 1.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
