Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cassette Remote at 100% against Sonos's 20%. Cassette Remote also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Sonos's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (936K vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Cassette Remote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sonos has 936K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Cassette Remote's written reviews are positive against 20% of Sonos's.
Cassette Remote ships an update every 3 months, Sonos fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
