# Playlist Tools vs Lyrix

The clearest difference is price: Lyrix at Free against Playlist Tools's $0.99. Lyrix also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (7.2K vs 16). Playlist Tools's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (45% vs 13%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Lyrix is free to download; Playlist Tools costs $0.99 up front. Lyrix sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Playlist Tools asks for nothing beyond the download.

Lyrix holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lyrix has 7.2K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Playlist Tools's written reviews are positive against 13% of Lyrix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Playlist Tools ships an update every 2 months, Lyrix every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
