# R vs SoundsReal

The clearest difference is price: SoundsReal at Free against R's $29.99. SoundsReal also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). R's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

SoundsReal is free to download; R costs $29.99 up front. R sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and SoundsReal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for R against 5.0 for SoundsReal. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: R has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

R ships an update monthly, SoundsReal fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
