# DEEMO II vs Rhythm Hive

The clearest difference is rating: DEEMO II at 4.8 against Rhythm Hive's 4.5. Rhythm Hive's advantage is ratings volume (37K vs 3.7K) and chart position (#11 vs #157). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DEEMO II sells 43 one-off in-app purchases and Rhythm Hive sells 26 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DEEMO II holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rhythm Hive has 37K ratings behind it against 3.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of DEEMO II's written reviews are positive against 61% of Rhythm Hive's.

DEEMO II ships an update every 2 months, Rhythm Hive every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
