Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CLASS at none against Classical Music+'s 1. CLASS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Classical Music+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 24 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

CLASS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Classical Music+ has 54 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
CLASS ships an update every 24 months, Classical Music+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
