# Sounds True vs DermVerdict

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DermVerdict at none against Sounds True's 4. DermVerdict also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Sounds True's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sounds True sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. DermVerdict asks for nothing beyond the download.

DermVerdict 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sounds True ships an update every 2 months, DermVerdict every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
