Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Lasertron Laser Harp costs $0.99 and DRM $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DRM holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DRM has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Lasertron Laser Harp's written reviews are positive against 38% of DRM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lasertron Laser Harp ships an update every 5 months, DRM every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
