# Simple Player vs 静听

The clearest difference is rating: Simple Player at 5.0 against 静听's 4.1. Simple Player also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). 静听's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple Player sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 静听 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.59 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simple Player holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 静听 has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Simple Player's written reviews are positive against 88% of 静听's.

Simple Player ships an update fortnightly, 静听 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
