# The Room vs GetMeA

The clearest difference is rating: GetMeA at 5.0 against The Room's 3.2. GetMeA also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and ads (none vs shown). The Room's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Room sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and GetMeA sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GetMeA holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Room has 53 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of The Room's written reviews are positive against 100% of GetMeA's.

The Room ships an update every 3 weeks, GetMeA every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
