# RAD Video vs DANCE MASTERCLASS

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DANCE MASTERCLASS at 78% against RAD Video's 14%. DANCE MASTERCLASS also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (290 vs 16). RAD Video's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RAD Video sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and DANCE MASTERCLASS sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DANCE MASTERCLASS holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DANCE MASTERCLASS has 290 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of RAD Video's written reviews are positive against 78% of DANCE MASTERCLASS's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
