# Neumz vs SongBase

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SongBase at 100% against Neumz's 63%. Neumz's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neumz sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and SongBase sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
