# Instruments Free vs Violin Simulator

The clearest difference is rating: Violin Simulator at 1.9 against Instruments Free's 1.0. Violin Simulator also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). Instruments Free's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Violin Simulator sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Instruments Free asks for nothing beyond the download.

Violin Simulator holds the better App Store score, 1.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Violin Simulator has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Instruments Free's written reviews are positive against 22% of Violin Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
