Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
US96.3 holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: US96.3 has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of US96.3's written reviews are positive against 67% of US102.3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
US96.3 ships an update every 4 months, US102.3 every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 21, 2026 respectively.
