# Muse vs Edits

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Edits at none against Muse's 10. Edits also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (103K vs 4.3K). Muse's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Muse sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Edits asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Muse against 4.8 for Edits. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Edits has 103K ratings behind it against 4.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 40% of Muse's written reviews are positive against 48% of Edits's.

Muse ships an update every 3 weeks, Edits every 6 days. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
