# Meow vs Pandora

The clearest difference is rating: Pandora at 4.0 against Meow's 3.8. Pandora also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 12) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15). Meow's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 74%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meow sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per year and Pandora sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pandora holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 43 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Meow's written reviews are positive against 74% of Pandora's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Meow ships an update every 5 weeks, Pandora every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
