# TingYue vs Audiostyle

The clearest difference is rating: Audiostyle at 5.0 against TingYue's 4.5. Audiostyle also leads on ads (none vs shown). TingYue's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (413 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TingYue sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Audiostyle sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
