Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Audius Music at 2.6K against Tune.fm's 2. Audius Music also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 45%). Tune.fm's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (4 vs 2). 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.
Tune.fm holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Audius Music has 2.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Audius Music's written reviews are positive against 45% of Tune.fm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Audius Music ships an update every 9 days, Tune.fm every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
