# DreamCocktail vs Modern Classics

The clearest difference is price: DreamCocktail at $2.99 against Modern Classics's $9.99. DreamCocktail also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1). Modern Classics's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 48%) and ratings volume (21 vs 4). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

DreamCocktail costs $2.99 and Modern Classics $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

DreamCocktail holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Modern Classics has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of DreamCocktail's written reviews are positive against 67% of Modern Classics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DreamCocktail ships an update every 5 months, Modern Classics every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
