# Drumr vs PercussionIQ

The clearest difference is rating: PercussionIQ at 5.0 against Drumr's 4.4. PercussionIQ also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Drumr's advantage is ratings volume (89 vs 15) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drumr sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and PercussionIQ sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PercussionIQ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drumr has 89 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Drumr's written reviews are positive against 100% of PercussionIQ's.
