# SongBook+ vs SongFixer™

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SongFixer™ at 100% against SongBook+'s 64%. SongFixer™ also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). SongBook+'s advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (162 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SongBook+ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and SongFixer™ sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SongBook+ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SongBook+ has 162 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of SongBook+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of SongFixer™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SongBook+ ships an update every 5 weeks, SongFixer™ every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
