# DEEMO vs Play SoundOff

The clearest difference is price: Play SoundOff at Free against DEEMO's $1.99. Play SoundOff also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). DEEMO's advantage is ratings volume (5.1K vs 2) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Play SoundOff is free to download; DEEMO costs $1.99 up front. DEEMO sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Play SoundOff asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for DEEMO against 5.0 for Play SoundOff. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DEEMO has 5.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DEEMO ships an update every 2 months, Play SoundOff fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
