# OneBeat vs The Queue

The clearest difference is review sentiment: OneBeat at 100% against The Queue's 20%. The Queue's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (30 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OneBeat sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and The Queue sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Queue holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Queue has 30 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of OneBeat's written reviews are positive against 20% of The Queue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

OneBeat ships an update every 2 months, The Queue every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
