Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Discogs at 4.8 against Primavera Sound's 2.4. Discogs also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 6%) and ratings volume (67K vs 40). Primavera Sound's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, 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.
Discogs holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Discogs has 67K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of Discogs's written reviews are positive against 6% of Primavera Sound's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
