# Sonos vs SongReady

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SongReady at 100% against Sonos's 20%. SongReady also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Sonos's advantage is ratings volume (941K vs 4) and chart position (#21 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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 SongReady sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SongReady holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sonos has 941K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of Sonos's written reviews are positive against 100% of SongReady's.
