# eMusic vs Music App

eMusic and Music App both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Music App's written reviews are positive against 35% of eMusic's. Music App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). eMusic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (175 vs 16). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Music App sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. eMusic asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for eMusic against 4.3 for Music App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: eMusic has 175 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 35% of eMusic's written reviews are positive against 83% of Music App's.

eMusic ships an update every 3 weeks, Music App every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
