TYPE

TYPE-02 finds the songs you'll like next, starting from one you already like. Hear a song. Tap the button. TYPE-02 names it, then explores what drives it: the mood, the sound, the type of people who listen to it, and why they do. Or type a song into the search bar. Either way, it returns songs built the same way, each with a short reason it fits. • Tap to name a song playing near you, or search by song or artist. • On iPhone, start listening in one tap from Control Center or your Lock Screen. • Play 30-second previews. • Like the songs that stand out. • Open any song in Apple Music to hear it in full. • Every song you've explored is saved in Your analyses. All of them. In order. Nothing is ever lost. Other apps also recommend songs. TYPE-02 is better. CREDITS AND TYPE PRO New accounts get 15 free credits. Each run costs 5. That is three runs. Type Pro is a monthly subscription with 200 credits each month. It's a clean number. It renews automatically unless you cancel it in your App Store account settings at least 24 hours before the renewal date.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Human Scale at none against TYPE's shown. TYPE's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
