# Narjo vs Sound Room

The clearest difference is rating: Sound Room at 5.0 against Narjo's 4.1. Sound Room also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Narjo's advantage is ratings volume (36 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Narjo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Sound Room sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
