# Tracklib vs Serato DJ

The clearest difference is monetization model: Serato DJ at free with in-app purchases against Tracklib's subscription. Serato DJ also leads on chart position (#81 vs unranked). Tracklib's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.2 vs 3.9). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tracklib sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Serato DJ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tracklib holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 325 and 84 respectively.
