Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Discogs at 4.8 against Festiverse's 3.7. Discogs also leads on ratings volume (67K vs 164) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Festiverse's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
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 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Discogs has 67K ratings behind it against 164, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Discogs's written reviews are positive against 44% of Festiverse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Discogs ships an update monthly, Festiverse every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
