# Met Opera vs Dream Machine Experience

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dream Machine Experience at 100% against Met Opera's 57%. Dream Machine Experience also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Met Opera's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Met Opera holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Met Opera has 3.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Met Opera's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dream Machine Experience's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Met Opera ships an update fortnightly, Dream Machine Experience weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 26, 2026 respectively.
