# SeeMusic vs PianoKiwis

The clearest difference is rating: PianoKiwis at 4.2 against SeeMusic's 3.9. PianoKiwis also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 63%). SeeMusic's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (231 vs 28). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SeeMusic sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and PianoKiwis sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PianoKiwis holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SeeMusic has 231 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of SeeMusic's written reviews are positive against 82% of PianoKiwis's.
