# Audio Editor vs Sound Deck

The clearest difference is rating: Sound Deck at 5.0 against Audio Editor's 4.4. Audio Editor's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 3) and chart position (#178 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Audio Editor sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Sound Deck sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
