# Learn Drums vs Chops

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chops at 100% against Learn Drums's 55%. Chops also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Learn Drums's advantage is ratings volume (120 vs 15) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn Drums sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Chops sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
