Both are free to download. REFLEC BEAT + sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. DanceRail3 asks for nothing beyond the download.
DanceRail3 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DanceRail3 has 925 ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of REFLEC BEAT +'s written reviews are positive against 60% of DanceRail3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
REFLEC BEAT + ships an update every 4 months, DanceRail3 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
