# Just Dance Now vs Sonolus

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.

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.

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.
