# Last.fm vs MatchRanker

The clearest difference is rating: MatchRanker at 5.0 against Last.fm's 2.3. MatchRanker also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 months). Last.fm's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 2) and chart position (#108 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

MatchRanker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Last.fm has 1.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Last.fm ships an update every 6 months, MatchRanker every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
