# SnapWords® vs Musical Multiplication

The clearest difference is rating: Musical Multiplication at 4.3 against SnapWords®'s 2.7. Musical Multiplication also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 33%) and ratings volume (163 vs 7). SnapWords®'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SnapWords® sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Musical Multiplication sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
