# Chreang vs Sing by Stingray

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chreang at none against Sing by Stingray's 11. Sing by Stingray's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (20K vs 34). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sing by Stingray sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Chreang asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sing by Stingray holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sing by Stingray has 20K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Chreang's written reviews are positive against 67% of Sing by Stingray's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
