Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Singing Straw Studio at 4.0 against BroadwayWorld HD's 3.5. Singing Straw Studio also leads on ads (none vs shown). BroadwayWorld HD's advantage is review sentiment (35% vs 0%) and ratings volume (19 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Singing Straw Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BroadwayWorld HD has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of BroadwayWorld HD's written reviews are positive against 0% of Singing Straw Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
