# Backpack Studio vs Radio Roulette

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Radio Roulette at none against Backpack Studio's 6. Radio Roulette also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Backpack Studio's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (307 vs 2). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Backpack Studio sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Radio Roulette asks for nothing beyond the download.

Radio Roulette holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backpack Studio has 307 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
