# Sonos vs Resonating

The clearest difference is ads: Resonating at none against Sonos's shown. Resonating also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Sonos's advantage is chart position (#19 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sonos sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month and Resonating sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
