# Composer Pro vs Violin Simulator

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Composer Pro at 72% against Violin Simulator's 22%. Composer Pro also leads on rating (4.5 vs 1.9) and ads (none vs shown). Violin Simulator's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Composer Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Violin Simulator sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Composer Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Composer Pro has 685 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Composer Pro's written reviews are positive against 22% of Violin Simulator's.
