# Rhymer's Block vs Sound Deck

The clearest difference is ads: Sound Deck at none against Rhymer's Block's shown. Sound Deck also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Rhymer's Block's advantage is ratings volume (35K vs 3) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rhymer's Block sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and Sound Deck sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sound Deck holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rhymer's Block has 35K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Rhymer's Block ships an update every 9 days, Sound Deck every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
