Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Set Dances at 5.0 against Feis's 4.3. Set Dances also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and device support (4 vs 1). Feis's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (168 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Set Dances holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Feis has 168 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Set Dances's written reviews are positive against 74% of Feis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Set Dances ships an update every 8 months, Feis every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
