Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: RMS Mix at Free against Scene Study's $2.99. RMS Mix also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). Scene Study's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 55%) and ratings volume (101 vs 7). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RMS Mix holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scene Study has 101 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Scene Study's written reviews are positive against 55% of RMS Mix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
