# Lyrically vs ArcEmu

The clearest difference is rating: ArcEmu at 4.9 against Lyrically's 2.0. ArcEmu also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). Lyrically's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lyrically sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ArcEmu sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ArcEmu holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArcEmu has 1.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
