# LivePhish vs Met Opera on Demand

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LivePhish at 78% against Met Opera on Demand's 27%. LivePhish also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.4) and ratings volume (42K vs 38). Met Opera on Demand's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LivePhish sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Met Opera on Demand sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
