Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Just Dance Now at 4.5 against Sonolus's 3.8. Just Dance Now also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (63K vs 1K). Sonolus's advantage is review sentiment (51% vs 34%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Just Dance Now sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Sonolus sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Just Dance Now holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Just Dance Now has 63K ratings behind it against 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Just Dance Now's written reviews are positive against 51% of Sonolus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Just Dance Now ships an update monthly, Sonolus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
