# Maretimo Radios vs Sonos

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Maretimo Radios at 67% against Sonos's 17%. Maretimo Radios also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Sonos's advantage is ratings volume (927K vs 12) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sonos sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Maretimo Radios asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sonos holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sonos has 927K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Maretimo Radios's written reviews are positive against 17% of Sonos's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 2, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
