# Drum Coach vs TempoBlocks

The clearest difference is ads: TempoBlocks at none against Drum Coach's shown. TempoBlocks also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Drum Coach's advantage is ratings volume (433 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drum Coach sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and TempoBlocks sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TempoBlocks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drum Coach has 433 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
