# Met Opera vs GAPFF

Met Opera and GAPFF both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of GAPFF's written reviews are positive against 57% of Met Opera's. GAPFF also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Met Opera's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 7) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Met Opera against 5.0 for GAPFF. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Met Opera has 4K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 57% of Met Opera's written reviews are positive against 100% of GAPFF's.

Met Opera ships an update fortnightly, GAPFF every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
