# SonoBus vs AudioCast

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SonoBus at none against AudioCast's 4. SonoBus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (46 vs 1). AudioCast's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AudioCast sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. SonoBus asks for nothing beyond the download.

AudioCast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SonoBus has 46 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of SonoBus's written reviews are positive against 50% of AudioCast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SonoBus ships an update every 6 weeks, AudioCast every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
