# Beat Maker vs Beat Looper Pro

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Beat Looper Pro at 74% against Beat Maker's 39%. Beat Looper Pro also leads on ratings volume (36K vs 1.8K) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beat Maker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Beat Looper Pro sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Beat Looper Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beat Looper Pro has 36K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
