Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SongShift at 4.7 against Last.fm's 2.3. SongShift also leads on review sentiment (49% vs 19%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). Last.fm's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 16.0). On price, ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SongShift sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Last.fm asks for nothing beyond the download.
SongShift holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SongShift has 67K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of SongShift's written reviews are positive against 19% of Last.fm's.
SongShift ships an update every 2 weeks, Last.fm every 6 months. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
