# BREAKING HITS vs ROSTR

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BREAKING HITS at none against ROSTR's 4. BREAKING HITS also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 50%) and device support (3 vs 1). ROSTR's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ROSTR sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $60.00 per month. BREAKING HITS asks for nothing beyond the download.

ROSTR holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of BREAKING HITS's written reviews are positive against 50% of ROSTR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BREAKING HITS ships an update fortnightly, ROSTR weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
