# Serato DJ vs Recrate

The clearest difference is rating: Recrate at 5.0 against Serato DJ's 3.9. Recrate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). Serato DJ's advantage is ratings volume (74 vs 1) and chart position (#64 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Serato DJ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Recrate sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Recrate holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Serato DJ has 74 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
