# Baby Scratch vs Music Maker JAM

The clearest difference is ads: Baby Scratch at none against Music Maker JAM's shown. Music Maker JAM's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 55) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Baby Scratch sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Music Maker JAM sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Music Maker JAM holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Music Maker JAM has 11K ratings behind it against 55, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Baby Scratch's written reviews are positive against 72% of Music Maker JAM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Baby Scratch ships an update every 3 months, Music Maker JAM monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
