# CleverJazz vs RealPlay

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CleverJazz at 100% against RealPlay's 73%. CleverJazz also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). RealPlay's advantage is ratings volume (164 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CleverJazz sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and RealPlay sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.29 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CleverJazz holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RealPlay has 164 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of CleverJazz's written reviews are positive against 73% of RealPlay's.
