# 荔枝 vs 耳海FM

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 耳海FM at 88% against 荔枝's 52%. 耳海FM also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 荔枝 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 耳海FM sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
