# RadioUser Magazine vs Coding User

The clearest difference is rating: RadioUser Magazine at 5.0 against Coding User's 1.0. RadioUser Magazine also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 months vs every 25 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RadioUser Magazine sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and Coding User sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RadioUser Magazine holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RadioUser Magazine has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

RadioUser Magazine ships an update every 8 months, Coding User every 25 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
