# iTablaPro vs Sastraprakasika

The clearest difference is price: Sastraprakasika at Free against iTablaPro's $29.99. iTablaPro's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.5) and review sentiment (87% vs 58%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Sastraprakasika is free to download; iTablaPro costs $29.99 up front. iTablaPro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sastraprakasika sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
