Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: JISOO at 83% against Lysn's 31%. JISOO also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.8) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Lysn's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and chart position (#141 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Lysn sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and JISOO sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
JISOO holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lysn has 1.1K ratings behind it against 176, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of Lysn's written reviews are positive against 83% of JISOO's.
Lysn ships an update every 3 weeks, JISOO every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
