Met Opera on Demand's advantage is ratings volume (38 vs 1) and chart position (#123 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Met Opera on Demand sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and OPER! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
