# Discogs vs Cassetto

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cassetto at 100% against Discogs's 40%. Cassetto also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Discogs's advantage is ratings volume (67K vs 19) and chart position (#124 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Cassetto holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Discogs has 67K ratings behind it against 19, 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 100% of Cassetto's.

Discogs ships an update monthly, Cassetto every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
