# TrueFire Guitar Lessons vs Mixer Brain

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mixer Brain at 100% against TrueFire Guitar Lessons's 58%. Mixer Brain also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). TrueFire Guitar Lessons's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TrueFire Guitar Lessons sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month and Mixer Brain sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
