# alphabeats vs Syntropy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Syntropy at 95% against alphabeats's 44%. Syntropy also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). alphabeats's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Syntropy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. alphabeats asks for nothing beyond the download.

alphabeats holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: alphabeats has 36 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of alphabeats's written reviews are positive against 95% of Syntropy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 2, 2026 and June 26, 2026 respectively.
