# Suru vs Lyria

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Suru at 87% against Lyria's 43%. Suru also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (526 vs 4). Lyria's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Suru sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Lyria sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lyria holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Suru has 526 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Suru's written reviews are positive against 43% of Lyria's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Suru ships an update fortnightly, Lyria monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
