# The Jukebox App vs The Queue

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Jukebox App at 66% against The Queue's 20%. The Jukebox App also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). The Queue's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Jukebox App sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and The Queue sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Queue holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 45 and 30 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of The Jukebox App's written reviews are positive against 20% of The Queue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Jukebox App ships an update fortnightly, The Queue every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 14, 2026 respectively.
