# MusicSoft Manager vs MIDI Score

The clearest difference is rating: MIDI Score at 4.0 against MusicSoft Manager's 2.6. MIDI Score also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 14%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). MusicSoft Manager's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MusicSoft Manager sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and MIDI Score sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MIDI Score holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MIDI Score has 151 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two.
