# Instruments Free vs Music World +

The clearest difference is rating: Music World + at 3.9 against Instruments Free's 1.0. Music World + also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (32 vs 2). Instruments Free's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (51% vs 33%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Music World + sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Instruments Free asks for nothing beyond the download.

Music World + holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Music World + has 32 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Instruments Free's written reviews are positive against 33% of Music World +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Instruments Free ships an update every 19 months, Music World + every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
