Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Co at free against ODEON's free with in-app purchases. Co also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). ODEON's advantage is ratings volume (49K vs 5) and review sentiment (26% vs 4%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Co holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ODEON has 49K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of ODEON's written reviews are positive against 4% of Co's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ODEON ships an update every 4 months, Co every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
