ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RSSBud holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 43 and 27 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Pandora's written reviews are positive against 50% of RSSBud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pandora ships an update every 4 weeks, RSSBud every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
