aux is the neutral link between Spotify and Apple Music. Send a song to a friend and it just opens, whatever they use. No more sending a Spotify link to someone on Apple Music and watching it go nowhere. HOW IT WORKS Copy any Spotify or Apple Music link and open aux. It turns into a single aux link that works for everyone. Your friend taps it and chooses where to listen. Or search for any song right in the app and share it from there. COLLABORATIVE PLAYLISTS Make a playlist, send the link, and anyone can add to it. No account needed to listen, and no one has to be on the same streaming service. Opening the link adds the playlist to your library. Good for road trips, parties, or a running list between friends. WHAT AUX ISN'T No feed. No friend requests. No notifications pulling you back in. The link is the whole product. Sharing, joining, creating playlists, and adding songs are free and always will be.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: aux at none against SongShift's 8. aux also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). SongShift's advantage is ratings volume (67K vs 2) and chart position (#88 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
