# iWriteMusic Pro vs MobileSheets®

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MobileSheets® at none against iWriteMusic Pro's 1. MobileSheets® also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and chart position (#50 vs unranked). iWriteMusic Pro's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and price ($12.99 vs $15.99). On review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

iWriteMusic Pro costs $12.99 and MobileSheets® $15.99 up front. iWriteMusic Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. MobileSheets® asks for nothing beyond the download.

iWriteMusic Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iWriteMusic Pro has 533 ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of iWriteMusic Pro's written reviews are positive against 81% of MobileSheets®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iWriteMusic Pro ships an update monthly, MobileSheets® every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
