# Sonolus vs SUPERSTAR THEBLACKLABEL

The clearest difference is rating: Sonolus at 3.9 against SUPERSTAR THEBLACKLABEL's 3.3. Sonolus also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 73) and review sentiment (51% vs 38%). SUPERSTAR THEBLACKLABEL's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sonolus sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and SUPERSTAR THEBLACKLABEL sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sonolus holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sonolus has 1.1K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Sonolus's written reviews are positive against 38% of SUPERSTAR THEBLACKLABEL's.

Sonolus ships an update every 2 months, SUPERSTAR THEBLACKLABEL every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
