# Google vs Song from Video

The clearest difference is rating: Google at 4.6 against Song from Video's 4.0. Google also leads on ratings volume (5.3M vs 32) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $0.89 per month and Song from Video sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Google holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google has 5.3M ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Google's written reviews are positive against 67% of Song from Video's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Google ships an update every 6 days, Song from Video every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
