# BAND vs DanceEra

The clearest difference is rating: BAND at 4.7 against DanceEra's 1.7. BAND also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 29%) and ratings volume (73K vs 11). DanceEra's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BAND sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. DanceEra asks for nothing beyond the download.

BAND holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BAND has 73K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of BAND's written reviews are positive against 29% of DanceEra's.
