# Soñata vs Elsewhere Sounds

The clearest difference is update cadence: Elsewhere Sounds at fortnightly against Soñata's every 2 months. Soñata's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Soñata sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Elsewhere Sounds sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Soñata ships an update every 2 months, Elsewhere Sounds fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
