Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Master Sha TV at 100% against Sounds True's 26%. Master Sha TV also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Sounds True's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Sounds True sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Master Sha TV sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Master Sha TV holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sounds True has 1.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 26% of Sounds True's written reviews are positive against 100% of Master Sha TV's.
Sounds True ships an update every 2 months, Master Sha TV daily. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
