# Open Studio Jazz vs RealPlay

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Open Studio Jazz at 100% against RealPlay's 73%. Open Studio Jazz also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). RealPlay's advantage is ratings volume (164 vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Open Studio Jazz sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $39.00 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.

Open Studio Jazz holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.
