# Lastream vs Symphony

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lastream at 100% against Symphony's 57%. Lastream also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). Symphony's advantage is ratings volume (32 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Symphony sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Lastream asks for nothing beyond the download.

Lastream holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Symphony has 32 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Lastream's written reviews are positive against 57% of Symphony's.

Lastream ships an update fortnightly, Symphony weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
