# Framed vs Muse

The clearest difference is rating: Muse at 5.0 against Framed's 4.0. Muse also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Framed's advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 2) and monetization model (freemium vs paid). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Framed sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Muse sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Muse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Framed has 37 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Framed's written reviews are positive against 100% of Muse's.

Framed ships an update fortnightly, Muse every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
