Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Met Opera at fortnightly against Groupmuse's every 3 months. Met Opera also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 24). Groupmuse's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Met Opera holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Met Opera has 3.8K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Groupmuse's written reviews are positive against 57% of Met Opera's.
Groupmuse ships an update every 3 months, Met Opera fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on July 4, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
