# BPM vs NoteFall Piano

The clearest difference is price: BPM at Free against NoteFall Piano's $4.99. BPM also leads on ratings volume (34 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). NoteFall Piano's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

BPM is free to download; NoteFall Piano costs $4.99 up front. BPM sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and NoteFall Piano sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NoteFall Piano holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BPM has 34 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
