# Sonos vs BarkTunes

The clearest difference is ads: BarkTunes at none against Sonos's shown. Sonos's advantage is chart position (#26 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sonos sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month and BarkTunes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
