# Breadpad vs TrackOSC

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TrackOSC at 100% against Breadpad's 33%. TrackOSC also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). Breadpad's advantage is ratings volume (168 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Breadpad sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. TrackOSC asks for nothing beyond the download.

TrackOSC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9.
