Verdict
The Record Exchange and JID both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of The Record Exchange's written reviews are positive against 71% of JID's. The Record Exchange also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). JID's advantage is ratings volume (40 vs 3). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
