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. CampfireFM sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. WDR COSMO asks for nothing beyond the download.
CampfireFM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of WDR COSMO's written reviews are positive against 54% of CampfireFM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WDR COSMO ships an update every 2 weeks, CampfireFM every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
