# Infuse vs Jellyfin Mobile

The clearest difference is rating: Infuse at 4.7 against Jellyfin Mobile's 4.0. Infuse also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (29K vs 503). Jellyfin Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Infuse sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Jellyfin Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

Infuse holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infuse has 29K ratings behind it against 503, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Infuse's written reviews are positive against 49% of Jellyfin Mobile's.

Infuse ships an update fortnightly, Jellyfin Mobile every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
